When painted you would not know that it wasn't expensive carved wood.

This property is in need of moderate rehab (more so than just paint carpet drywall) and I was thinking of applying for Fund and Grow program.

Hi All,Under the current tax laws is interior painting considered maintenance vs repairs?

I know the rents will remain some what the same so it's hard for me to justifying going outside of new carpet and paint.

That means, the color of paint, choosing the carpeting, etc. 

That after the tenant moves in and they want to get out of paying rent, they scream black mold, lead paint, and yet let their babies crawl on this !!! 

New roof, carpeting, painting, sinks, lighting fixtures.

Well this is what I do.One, get an expired listing, knock on the door of the home seller, give a free report about lease to own, how lease to own works, why it helps them sell on terms versus for cash, how it helps them save money by not paying a real estate commission or closing costs.Two, follow up with these expired listings, many need to think about it for a month, if you follow up, you will eventually get sales.Three, when presenting to homes with no equity, you want to go through all your choices, so what I do is I present three columns, and basically talk about the cost to sell in the first column with an agent, which include, real estate commissions of 6%, closing costs that 2%, sellers concessions which can be 3 to 6%, vacancy costs which can be 4 to 6 months while an agent tries to sell a vacant house, and the seller still have to pay PITI, and lastly spruce up costs like paint, carpet, landscaping, etc. to compete with all the other $500,000 houses.

That could be for a variety if reasons, that unit is farther from the street, or newer appliances, or the perception that they will get a free new paint job in the soon to be available unit etc...Do you entertain such request?
