@Joshua Biondi  I was looking for a handyman a few months ago.................the woman who cleans apartments for me volunteered to paint and caulk a bathroom.

Would think residential zoning might be the path of least resistance but again, i'm very new. 

So far, we are sticking with our original plan to gut the bathrooms down to studs and rebuild, new pre-hung doors, light fixtures, flooring, and paint throughout.

We were originally about $10K higher, but were able to realize savings on interior/exterior painting. 

When I hauled away all the junk in the basement, painted its walls, and had the floor professionally scrubbed, lo and behold, the effective doubling of the house's useable square footage and the potential to create additional living space down there (maybe even a separate living area) became a nice selling feature to prospective buyers.

What kind of paint do you use in the bedrooms of your rentals?

I've quietly viewed enough churches and paintings already; my goal was to break the insurmountable barrier of politeness and actually make contact with regular people, people who aren't trained in the hospitality-industry art of being efficient and polite. 

Tenant will notify Landlord in a timely manner of any damages or problems as they arise, including damages cause by Tenant, malfunction of appliances or fixtures, and water/moisture leaks and spots.

Seems folks think you're going to paint a master piece with a paint by numbers set.One might know how to pick a guitar but they won't be successful in the music business unless they study music.What is it that attracts real estate zombies, is it the smell of money?

While you can put lipstick on, change carpet and paint color, floor plans become dated, boring, less functional, if you begin in a 75 year old property, you'll have a 100+ year old property in an old section by the time you get it paid off.
