I have a house ready to rent , I went to get the Lead paint certification , and the inspector told me i got some bad news for you .

Assuming that I engage a general contractor (who was recommended on BP) to do a rehab work on a property (nothing heavy, probably a 10K to 15K rehab work (external and internal painting, flooring, kitchen etc.), being an out of state investor and not being able to monitor his work directly, do you think I should hire someone local as a project manager to supervise the GC's work (that is if I find somebody who can take such a project manager job for 1 or 2 thousand dollars) or can rely on the GC to do his work and may be ask my property manager to check his work a couple time during rehab ( in the middle and after the rehab work)?

I would have at least put some fresh paint in there and then added some nicer lighting in the ceiling to jazz it up some.

The blue being painted over the pink.

The lead based paint laws are tightening in Maryland...

Roof, AC units, plumbing, flooring, paint, exterior etc, these things take money to maintain/replace.

I will be replacing gutters, shutters, front door and garage door, stainless steel appliances, cabinets, vanities, countertops, inside doors, back door, new grass and landscaping, new fence, new tile in bathrooms,acasia hardwood in kitchen, foyer and master bedroom, all plumbing fixtures, all missing copper pipe with cpvc, door hinges and handles, toilets, adding double trey ceiling in master, granite counters, painting inside and out, new carpet, adding some crown molding in master, kitchen, foyer, family room and master bath.

Sounds like you don't have to paint between tenants?

If you plan on doing any painting in the future, you may want to check out the 5-in-1 Painter's Tool.

If you want to pass on all work, be it planning or painting, you are going to need to partner with someone who knows their way around house renovations.
