Mostly you will find lead based paint on the window sills and exterior.

--What, typically, do LO tenants handle themselves (as opposed to a traditional rental)?

Both buildings have flat membranes and then the old school shingle look on the outer and upper portion of the exterior  as can be seen in the photo.  

As it's exterior work, ask them if you can do a drive by of a couple of previous jobs to see the quality of their work.Good Luck !!

For those interested, it needs the following:Exterior: Paint Shutters & Power Wash all the vinylInterior: Replace Carpet, Paint Walls & Ceiling, Replace switchplates & outlet covers, Paint doors & trimUnpermitted enclosed patio: Relocate Electric Meter to exterior of home.We also put a sign & lockbox on another property which currently has a tenant.  

As opposed to those who are shopping for a primary residence, with them I usually send them homes I think that will fit their needs.Many good Realtors do not want to work with investors.
