The only phone calls are scheduled as appointments (via text) and we also respect that and don't call the tenants.Second, you are not being asked to paint or install carpet.

For additional context, I'll be living in the property and renting by the room, looking for 4 (hopefully 5) bedrooms, and am open to some small repairs (i.e. painting, flooring, etc.) but nothing major (no foundational work / remodeling - I'm not exactly a handy person haha). 

For example: you're rehabbing a house and want to do the painting yourself.

Tell them Well you can pick paint color for this room if your approved ??

The rest, to be dramatic, is a painted drywall shell (OK - some type of tile flooring).

Hi gys - I find that getting a correct and trustworthy estimate for "paint and general repair" - is much more difficult than "standard rehab" items.Standard Items like flooring, kitchen counter-tops, cabinets & appliances, windows & doors, HVAC - can be done by major home improvement companies - so there's this great satisfaction of paying the right cost.however with paint and general repair - contractors are quoting me anything they want - and numbers are like 200% different.how do I determine the actual cost of "paint and general repair"?

For the buildings, furnace inspections, roofs replaced, exterior painted, etc.  

I wanted to paint the walls.

It's just a basic rehab, new roof, new kitchen, new bathroom, paint, new flooring, new fixtures and the yard.

He/She will handle all the paperwork, lead paint requirements, etc, and the cost is usually just 1 month's rent.Otherwise, check out https://www.ezlandlordforms.com.
