And then after getting a property, I assume a lot of YouTube university and the like.For example, learning drywall, painting, flooring, tiling, some plumbing and electrical (nothing crazy), some landscaping/hardscaping, etc.Help!

Bleach the tub and tile, paint the radiator white with oil based enamel spray paint

They were recommended for a paint job for an apartment.Best,Pamela

We know the roof is less than 10 years old too, so hopefully any large expenses will not arise for a few years, thus giving us a large amount of reserves after a few years.Here is the data:Cost of unit 40kRenovations 40kboiler:6800windows&doors:5000unit renovations: 16k (they are small and with them being low rent we do not want to go nice)Per unit: carpet &pad:1k kitchen and bath floor: 300 appliances:1100 cabinets/counters/sink:800 Bath:500 Paint:100 Doors:200balconies:4kdrywall work:3200misc expenses: 5kAnnual rent 19,200Annual Budget:property tax: 1800vacancy:800insurance:1030repairs & maint: 2400utilities:3600advertising:100grounds keeping:600misc:500Annual Debt service:5756

I’m going to be ripping out the carpet and tile and replacing it with vinyl plank. 

I am happy to adjust the numbers with whatever scenario everyone thinks makes sense.For example, looking at another Westcoast market paints a slightly different picture.

Make sure all your deck and the surround are stained/painted the same.

We found mold in an REO that I have under contract.Fortunately it's not black mold, and is only in a small laundry room in the basement.After I rip it out, drywall, do I still have to disclose to potential buyers that there was mold?

TSP walls, prime with killz (they actually have a water based product now called Restorer that I’ll be trying soon, so much nicer than oil based and my friend who owns a restoration co suggested it), paint.

But when I started painting—-many a small black bug met its untimely death in a fresh coat of paint.
