Separate market-ready from full repaint
Some properties need a full interior repaint. Others need targeted walls, trim, doors, or exterior curb-appeal work. The walkthrough should separate must-do items from optional upgrades.
Use repeatable color systems
Consistent neutral colors make touch-ups, future turnovers, and multi-property maintenance easier. Investors should document wall, trim, door, and exterior colors by property.
Schedule paint before final clean and photography
Paint should happen after repairs that damage surfaces but before final cleaning, staging, photography, and listing. That order keeps the finish clean for showings.
