The podcasts are one of my favorite educational pieces that BP offers, so those may interest you as well.

I'll go with the green granite every time because it's my favorite color (and I have in several houses).  

I listened to almost all podcasts and they definitely add a lot of flavor to the subject and are full of great but most of all actionable information. 

After 3-4 months, I think you'll start to get the hang of it by reading here a lot.Later you can buy a new porsche like me and laugh at all the college snobs who think theyre better than everyone else and doubted you, yet they make as much as 1-2 burger king workers after accumulating $50,000+ in student loans (my favorite tactic was to post pictures of it online with me in it and then proceed to give them facebook pokes to force them to look at my profile, and then ask them what their experience with V12 engines have been like because im planning to purchase a new ferrari next year)

Interview several and choose your favorite.

They can at least refer you to their favorite attorney for these matters.

I'll DM you, but my favorite real estate topic to talk about is multi-family real estate investing.

Those are my favorite stays.

You'll need several on your list because there will be times when your favorite contractor is on another job and you'll have to use another one that's on your list and available when you need them.I don't know about your area but if you're really in need survey the Home Depot parking lot for the vans and trucks with signs on them marked Contractor, Home Remodeling, etc.. 

I'd imagine a lot of people do what I do and add them to favorites, boards, etc. to 1.) track them as they age, 2.) look for price reductions, or 3.) see what they sell for.
