They were painted about a year ago, I was the one who painted them and know the color.

If you can, try to take photos of black light or similar showing 'invisible' bodily fluids and ask the landlord to be reasonable.If it really really bothers you, get a quote from Home Depot and ask the landlord to split the cost to replace the carpet.

I run near 100% occupancy and actually have guests asking to be on a waiting list if another guest cancels.Part of this is that I've done split testing on everything from shampoos and towels, to paint colors on rooms, not to m mention the ad copy on the listing.  

I like the current trim color, actually stair color is nice too.

Tenant says, "Hey my paycheck is light, can I pay half now and half on the 15th?".  

My apartments are standardized at this point --  standard paint colors, Cherry Allure floors, basic white appliances.  

The Four Light Bulb Bathroom Vanity Light Fixture.Sure it looks nice, it makes the bathroom areas in a rehab dazzle and shine.

Hello All,I am interested in learning more about bringing in a "equity partner" ( I believe that is what they are called) for purchasing a rental home.There was BP podcast recently in which they discussed a technique of involving private money to purchase the home without any of the rental investors own capital, then give the private money lender a set percentage of all monthly revenue and then that same percentage in equity when the property is eventually sold.Can someone shed some light on this?

I would recommend Painter's Edge Flat, there's a wide range of stock colors that are good for flips, and it's about $12/gallon.
