We basically do everything drywall,paint, siding,gutters, concrete,tile, carpet, vinyl, hardwood flooring, fences,landscaping, tree service, asphalt,electrical,plumbing,carpentry.

Personally, the mistake I was thinking of, was that I picked the wrong paint color in one of our units, I felt bad because it's not what I wanted-- should have took more time!    

Laminate, tile , vinyl, linoleum, paint, anything but carpet.

New carpet, paint, fence around the back yard area maybe, new lighting, a few windows.

Repair costs may be 5-10k just for paint, new doors, and some landscaping]Occupancy = has tenant.

Another update heading to the commercial building to start cleaning and painting!

Only real problem is no one could ever track down the lock box code so we had to break in after closing to inspect and secure with new locksets ( new locksets are normal, breaking in not so much ) A light cleaning and a little paint and it should be rent ready on the 15thHang in there and don't get frustrated when they need everything immediately and then take forever to respond.Roll on,,,,,,

Well an analogy to your argument might be the painting of an entire rental property exterior (not just the bad spots in need of it).

I barely graduated high school, yet I own 64 rental units and between that and a painting business I started 3 years ago I will never have to have a job again.

All apartments have carpet/ vinylStandard paint
