Wow, you guys are cheap. I wish I could find a painter who worked as cheaply as you do. When there is a "hole" in the wall, and mine are 3/4" sheetrock so they have to really be trying to make a hole when they do, my painter is called to patch and repaint. His average bill is usually $75 per hole because he has to make at least two trips to patch, let dry and then re-paint. I also charge for excessive nail holes. I talk to my tenants before they move in and tell them anything above a finish nail hole will be charged for. I have had tenants use huge nails and screws to hang pictures and they can't just make one hole they have to make 2-10 to get it right.
Good luck and don't be afraid to find good people to do the work for you and charge the tenant for it. I used to do all my own work and it not only cost me money but brain cells from burned out frustration as well.

I actually enjoy painting, I love to paint ceilings. I'm pretty fast at it also , my husband says he's a lucky man .lol I do charge the tenant for it (I have 6 sisters and one of them makes me a reciept). I'm fairly handy at repairs and enjoy doing them, I'm leary with electrical, anything past changing fixtures and switches/plugs I dont do. I'm just not willing to pay someone for something that I can do and also it's great exercise. And as the first poster stated the judges in theis area wouldnt go along with some of the prices on the list that is on this site.
