It's all familiar and not foreign like investing in annuities so it gives people a false sense of ease.So then you turn on HGTV and see someone buy a $50,000, spend a few weeks repainting, and then sell it for half a billion dollars.

For example you tell them don't smoke they do it anyways I keep the deposit but then I have to repaint the whole place.

I figure I would deep clean, repaint and run a hepa filter during this time.

House had a complete refresh of all interiors walls, lighting, upgrade bathrooms, exterior repairs to stucco, fence repair, granite counters and repaint the kitchen cabinets.

The project list includes replacing the kitchen counter-top, repaint kitchen cabinets and a bathroom refresh (i.e. replace the vanity, mirror, lighting, clean grout on wall tiles and new epoxy coating of the existing tub). 

Kitchen pics attached of before and repainted stage. 

use several coats of oil based sealer such as Kilz and repaint . run an ozone generator for several 3 hour treatments over a weeks period .then febreze the place .

I remodeled the kitchen and bath and repainted the whole condo.

For example, the costs associated could be $4,000 to repaint, carpet, etc. and the rent is only 600 thus you lose almost 7 months of rent on turnover plus lost rent in the time that the property is repaired. 

I do color on all my walls so repainting is somewhat more involved but I think it is worth it compared to tenants having white on white in white.
