After, if the tests come back positive for lead, you'll need to get it remediated by scraping and re-painting. 

You don't know what the house was like when he moved in and it has been 13 years, so some of the things you will find are part of normal wear and tear (eg if you need to replace carpet, repaint, etc) not damage that the tenant did. 

I will be doing some renovations in order for this property to be move in ready (repainting and replacing all flooring).

Repaint.  

I agree that the 3-4k expense of getting new cabinets may not be worth it as opposed to spending maybe 400-600 on repairing these and repainting .

We also initially were only going to exterior paint as needed but ended up Repainting full exterior. it was shocking to see how fast the money was going out.  

Does the painter usually just patch up the holes after move out or do they repaint all the walls?

@Agustin Conti In the case of these repairs to the driveway and patio/deck I would think they are solely cosmetic and at your discretion as to if you will pay for them unless your insurance company has flagged it and told you to repaint it or repair it which you did not mention so I will assume is a no.

So we have to replace the carpet and floor wood and cabinat board under the sink for that area, and repaint the ceiling.

Or, you can buy in an area where incomes are higher, crime is lower, and more qualified buyers want to live there, but then the cosmetic upgrades leave no margin (almost every owner-occupant is willing to repaint and refinish floors over time).
