Just updated EVERYTHING long before I could paint it all.Shoulda been torn down but I made it work andmade40k on the deal...

About $21.29 for a bottle of Joy detergent, a paint brush, and a gallon of KILZ.Mike

I'll try to paint the picture: My Info I make 50K, have FICO of 700 and currently have 29% debt to income I can withstand a $1400/mo payment max I have 5K cash The Property Vacant 2 unit 3 flr built 1900 property in urban area where the owner now lives out of town.

I asked 3 different painting contractors to give me estimates to paint the outside of my personal home.

That does not mean 20,000 more off a broken door and some paint but some compensation should be made.

Let's say it definitely needs floor covering and paint, so you will not be disturbing good stuff.

I will seriously consider some of your (and Bohemiana's) suggestions for AFTER closing.Why throw paint on your date's fur coat BEFORE the dinner and movie (even if your first impression does not look promising)?

The house could use some small cosmetic touch up, like paint in the upstairs rooms, but the kitchen is nice, granite countertops, nice appliances, the washer and dryer isn't new but that didn't seem to be a problem when others have come to rent the rooms.I wouldn't mind making this a rental for me, while I focus on getting a condo for my family.

Updates include newer plumbing in basement, roof 5 years, updated electrical panels, half of the windows are newer, some replacement blinds and paint to both units!

My other bedroom has paint on the concrete.What is the recommended action now
