He said it wouldn’t leave brush strokes and it’s a great paint.

I did learn the comps in my zip code, bought a SFH property at auction, developed my skills with a hammer, paint brush, shovel, rake, lawn mower, got friendly with crawl spaces, learned to lay floors, patch walls, hang lights/fans, bought used appliances off CL, establish relationships with trusted trades, drafted a rental application and M2M agreement. 13 years and 26 SFH rentals later, my hobby cash flows life and is a great part-time time job. 

Pre-payment penalties are often brushed a side by the folks who push DSCR loans only but can be hugely expensive when rates are at 23 year highs.

I'm broad brushing it a bit but those are also high crime areas that I have always avoided. 

I use a 4-6 inch nap roller and small brush.

I have to mimic @Jaron Walling I use a Graco x7 and good rollers and brushes usually Purdy.

The professionals usually snake every vent down with a camera, a brush, and vacuum, to show you before and after too!

I used gray in my rentals, just grab 5 colors you like paint all 5 with a brush and go with the one that looks best.

He told me he had the paint and a brush, but there wasn't time to do it as it was the last day.

Brushed nickel, brushed chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, polished nickel, or flat black will all do well.
