Ended up being a home run - Fannie Mae had already put it to rental standards with new paint and carpeting.

I don't want them walking through a property in terrible condition but if I'm down to painting and a few minor projects I feel they can look beyond that.If your potential tenants are coming from another property they may need to give notice prior to vacating. 

Don't forget about the lead paint disclosure in MA.Additionally, if you plan on holding a security deposit make sure to study the rules and regulations very closely.

I used flat paint throughout the house.

Displacement of those residents would be a sad thing.To paint the picture to them, I would make a formal request to that same county contact or department:  you need full details on homeless shelters and programs in that area.  

I did all the flooring, painting, tile, appliances, and fixtures, which took over two years of my free time.
