So I was thinking of getting rid of the wall paper and painting the walls while having the tiles professionally cleaned and the tub glazed.

You need to talk to an RE attorney for that.You could throw some paint on it and sell it to one of these wholesale investors to make the major repairs and when you sell, make a proper driveway agreement with maintenance stipulations.If the current owner has not left town you could get with them to redo the 1955 agreement.

That was when the many sleepless nights started happening .One of the site that I MAY KEEP is a Mini storage complex very low maintenence and Great Cash Flow strangeset Investment : Bought a Historical Church and cemetary from the methodist church ,Put new roof on the building ,Painted inside and out .ETC .

That would probably fall down a few times as the tenant puts too much weight on the bar and screws up the paint.

If a room has three windows, two could be painted shut and have missing screens.

I found new damage to the wall in the master bedroom where the bed frame dug holes in the wall from banging into it for some reason, it also scrubbed black paint on the wall.

:) I can look back and laugh now but it sure wasnt funny looking at all the vent work being rerouted to shelves of pot plants and paint on the walls ruined by the humidity.

Carpet and paint, and most of the appliances are fully depreciated and only the items aggravated by failure to report them can be justified in court.

Do you pick out the flooring first and then base your paint colors, cabinet style, etc. around that?

I just clean and paint and charge a high security deposit by allowing a pet.
