It looks fantastic, nothing has bled through and the smell is gone (it went from pet and smoke odor to bleach to oil paint fumes to a freshly painted house in a matter of days.)

I bought the home for $8,500 cash, cleaned the carpet, painted some walls (a rule of mine every time I re-rent or sell a home to give it a fresh smell) and about 2 weeks later the home rented for $650 per month.

I would do the fix-up while living there and move from unit to unit getting the place looking fresh as leases ended/tenants moved out.
