They just said that in their opinion, since we said there was fresh paint that everything should have been painted. 

The unit is also old (about a hundred years) and although I just refinished the floors and did fresh paint throughout, it's never going to have the feel of a new-construction building where tenants expect granite or Corian as part of their "luxury" kitchen.

From my understanding there are two property management companies in the area and this one came as a recommendation.I guess ultimately I am displeased with the service of my current PM, I only have two other options: (1) the other PM (2) start my own PM.I think I can develop a team in the area and I know enough real estate investors to make it lucrative but may be adding more to my plate instead of taking some off.My objective is to take some work off my plate with keeping the costs either fixed or better.My initial thought was to hire someone to do all my petty tasks and give them an opportunity to learn about the PM side of things and get their feet wet in the real estate market (resume builder) - someone fresh out of college that is hungry to learn.

Fortunately, the problem went away once the gas was on, the heater was running, and we sprinkled baking soda on the carpets followed by a good vacuuming.

I am finished up a turnkey rehab which includes subfloor replacement in kitchen and 2 baths and replacing tile, carpet, cabinets, countertops, vanities, shower base and surrounds, and freshly paint interior.

Also, if you have any sort of objections to their plans then you are urged to let them know - they usually get feedback from a few regulars so a fresh opinion is quite valuable if it doesn't involve screaming or cursing (which I'm sure you would never do).Also, the advice from the others to think about a subdivide is generally good, especially in the sense that you won't have to use the whole piece for the collateral when you proceed.

Hello everyone,My name is Andrew Sampino, I'm a fresh out of college 22 year old Engineer looking to get into rental property investing.

Nicholas, I'm super new and fresh to everything real estate investing, but I have a question.  

An old fan, old blinds, new carpet, fresh paint,etc,etc. are cosmetic issues.

Want to delete and start fresh.
