Invested $6000 in new plumbing and painting.

The paint on the exterior needs to be finished and the gutters could use replacing.

The rest of RE is sheetrock, paint, and flooring.  

If its a small area, Lowe's sells tinted paint to cover up the stains (the leak is gone, right?).  

New tenents every time you have to paint and change carpet.

I have my degree in Commercial Art and I have a clientele that I do paintings, murals and art restoration for.

Way too skinny for me . 20 grand is a small quick fix and paint in my neck of the woods .

Could also use removal of vinyl siding and painting but that's always a gamble since we never know what we'll find under the vinyl.So as you can see, it's not a great deal, but it's a free duplex with the financing (albeit not great) in place.

I do like how explicit their forms are, but I can probably delete a quarter of it as not applicable.By the time we have the lease, the non-standard addendum (so they shovel snow and mow the lawn), the rules and regulations, and the lead paint disclosure, that's too many pages!

On the other side the owner has turned on the dehumidifier again and the basement is painted so it is not possible to evaluate if there is water in other parts.
