Thanks guys.Where I am it with this is there are 20 units.Some need rehab with carpet and paint to get rent ready.

Newer appliances, new floors and paint are what keeps my apartments above market rate.

we already nail it to the wall.2) do we need to finish up all the paints before the inspector comes?

Same way with dry lock waterproofing paints.

The sellor cannot afford realty fees and wants top dollar for a property that needs carpet, paint, and som landscaping at glance.

I find that the cheapest things to do that make the house go that extra mile are:Curb appeal of coursePainted cabinets and maybe new knobsPainted doors and new handlesnew carpet/hardwood or just very cleannew electrical switch platespaint or replace trimtile in foyer or just nice flooringnew shower curtains or clean sliding doorsadd window shutters painted an offset color of the housenice mailboxto expand on curb appeal:clean gutterspressure wash or clean sidingLandscaping is almost a must to sell really fastexterior lightsThese are just a few and are very basic items that can add to that WOW factor.

I sanded and prepped the surface then painted with rustoleum.

Anyway I posted my question on doityourself dot com.Long story short, within an hour I had several resonses including one that reprinted a magazine article with easy hints on how to tap into lines and all the recommended specs.Too bad I'm in rehearsal for a play or I'd volunteer to come up and do your plumbing if you'd come down and do some painting for me!

Many tenants will cause a room or two to need paint touch up in 6 months.

I have no idea other than spaying it with paint or something but not sure how that will work.Does anyone know how to go about lightening the color of stone?
