And I am not sure if any landlords talk about it, but on a 4 plex brush and roller paint job, I can easily shed 10 lbs or more (not just water weight from sweat).

I would go over the fence with a very stiff bristled brush, and apply the appropriate primer followed with a Rustoleum top coat. 

I'd spray it (no brushes) or rip it out and redo it with new MDF trim pre primed.  

Key Word.)Anyways, my first deal was through a yellow letter.An older gentleman called and wanted to sell his house for 65,000.After three weeks of negotiation I got him to sell me the property for 35,000Long story short, I sold it 3 days later for 53,000 without moving a paint brush :)

Also, if you don't know what you can and can't say and to whom PLEASE brush up on that tid bit of info.

Hi Gary,I would still try to pursue brushing shoulders with some of the big boys in Thailand.Singapore and Malaysia aren't to far away from you so maybe you can attend a few business conventions there.

I think the ask was $60k for both and I kinda of brushed it off as I said I just never really knew or liked the area.

Based upon your description (exterior, 3800, etc), I will estimate it to be around $2,000 plus material (paint, roller, brush, tape, etc.)

I would probably just brush it off and move on to the next deal.

I purchased the property for only $200,000 and figured I could not loose.Repairs included finishing the driveway with concrete, pouring a walkway to the front step, solving a crawl space water retention issue, installing new hardwood flooring, replace all "gold" fixtures with brushed nickel, interior and exterior painting, replacing the septic pump and replacing light fixtures.
