We did get negotiate money from them to help with roof repair, but now know they were not honest on their disclosure.Our inspector missed code violations, HVAC issues, pipes that had been worked on and issues hidden that had occurred while sellers lived in the house, signs of drainage and water damage inside the house that had been painted over, completely blocked dryer vent...and we are finding more daily.We have had the house looked at by a structural engineer and HVAC techs that has told us we need thousands (likely tens of thousands) of dollars worth of repairs to make this property able to rent and come up to code for rental. 

We added value by re-doing the whole house, installed vinyl floorings, rebuilt 2 and a half bathrooms, re-painted the whole house, replaced all the hardware in the house, installed new lighting, ceiling fans, re-painted the kitchen, and completely remodeled the upstairs.

The biggest impact will be interior paint, trim and doors, upgraded fixtures, bathrooms and kitchens. 

From the paint, to the floors, to the kitchen/bath remodel I'm sure it all looked great. 

Other leaded surfaces has to be intact, it means no pealing or flaking paint.

It's impossible to paint each situation with a broad brush because it truly is case by case given the work that was done, inspector that is handling it, etc.

I tend to take my property off market "hold" during slow times for some painting, other small updates and would never consider it as occupied.  

I normally reply to posts but making a post :)Best bang for your buck I typically see when working with clients is exterior paint/siding and landscaping.

Training them simply means you control the conversation and interaction not them.An example, a tenant calls and says, "can you paint my apt a different color, I don't like it".

Most paint a pretty rosy picture of the outcomes.
