The duplex mainly just needs the siding cleaned and stained.  

If this is a single family home then you would just wait until the lease ends, clean it up and sell it at market value.

The tenant that is leaving has kept the place reasonably clean throughout their stay.

I got one a few years ago that I paid closing costs around $1400, put $200 into the house to clean it up and marketed it as a Lease Option.

It's decent if you want a clean looking finish but not too fancy.

I've cleaned up the mess!!!

Gary Allbright  I recently had them clean my gutters, add gutter guards, and replace soffits on my primary residence.

Besides this the home will need  a total of eight (8) new exterior windows, deep cleaning, paint, new overhead fans and light fixtures. 

He left without a fight, but the property was pretty rough after a decade without being cleaned.

If the place was clean and fixed up you could have easily sold it for $180,000, but the person had destroyed it so bad there's no way that you could get an FHA USDA or a rehab loan on it.
