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).  

We recently changed to sherwin williams as they have a great color match tool that if we need to repaint just one wall between tenants they can do a slight tone charge to compensate for the wear or fading.

How much should I pay to have my house re-painted in Palm Coast, FL?  

I have to remove the nails on the walls, add fillers, touch up and repaint some part of the home.

I've got about $10k I'm willing to spend, and here's what I've come up with as far as updates go:- Add shelving for grocery storage - there's very little today- Rehab the front porch (you can feel the plywood sink in places as you walk over it)- Repaint the outside of the house (paint is peeling)- Add a fence for the back yard- Add a back door (there's only one entrance/exit to the house)- Pave the driveway on both sides of the tree out front- Add exterior lights to the side and back of house- Update kitchen counters (granite?)

It really depends on the condition and if the person smoked indoors and was a heavy smoker.You are going to have to wash all of the surfaces with TSP, chances are you will need to repaint (especially if they've been there for 10 years) and may need to stain block the ceilings before painting.
