I ended up replacing all of the wood trim and repainting everything.Another problem with letting a tenant paint is you don't have any worker's comp.

Maybe a little low - however since we are building and I know the quality of materials we are using I have a good handle on how long they will last/cost to replace etc.If they are new builds I think most of what you would put there depends on the quality of materials used, quality of construction and the types of things that will start to wear out first based on your weather etc.Roofing, siding/windows, water heaters, appliances, exterior paint, etc are what I would foresee needing attention and the largest expenditures as time moves on (and for those of us in hail prone areas  - the random damaging hail storm)If I follow the new construction route for an extended period of time I'd plan on selling around the 10-15 year mark so I avoid the maintenance issues that will likely start popping up around then.We will use SmartSiding which has a 50 yr warranty, Smart trim and if my partner can get a hookup on some discount or odd lot Class IV impact resistant shingles we'll be using those on the roof.  

Everything works but it has plenty of  quirks and flaws in the plaster and trim and flooring.

Don't fall under the trap that because the Seller has been squeezing the expenses by not performing proper maintenance (think septic pumping, tree trimming, road maintenance, deferred capital expenses) that this Park will always have a 25% expense ratio - it should be much higher and you will be lucky to have a single year under 30%.  

Paint trim work.

He just popped the old one out carefully then glued the new panel back into place and replaced the trim pieces.

Maybe look at your monthly expenses and trim some fat.
