Painting?

MY QUESTION:Is it worth the hassle of having to paint the walls again?

Does the place need painting?   

If they painted a room bright orange or installed speakers in the walls.

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.  

If you have $5k in a reserve account, but what happens when by some odd coincidence every appliance in the house dies in a six month span, the tenant vacates and it just so happens the carpet is 8 years old an needs replacing before it can be turned over, and the entire place needs a new paint job.

Some drywall patching, painting, exterior damage fixing (mostly rotten soffits/fascia boards), and a lot of junk removal.

Disclaimer:  First post.What color are you thinking of painting the stairs? 

Painting, carpeting etc.

every state will be different and laws change all the time, check with state and local regs, ccos etc, like in Phillys landlord has to be licensed, and give tenants copies of inspections etc, some areas its just a lead base paint brochure, many brochures you can download or buy cheap or free, make a master list of what should be in each packet to check off, be careful in changing wording legalize like may to must...., be do personalize to each situation as it applies, say sfh doesnt have common areas, most states offer landlord tenant laws and sample leases free, hud does, be careful about just downloading anywhere as may or maynot meet laws, or you could hire a local attorney to look over what you right up, either way be very careful what you ask on screenings, and keep all,ALL records even those turned down, make your data base and have a back up disk, I used to just print out a only few forms ahead because laws change and printed names in leases are easier to read, dont go by someones advise or their lease etc, make sure your is as legal as you can, it is a legal contract   dont ask questions like married?
