Is this the first thread like this where it is a complete walk through of the process or are there more threads like this on the site that goes into detail about what to expect and how to tackle any issues that might come up?

On most projects (starter homes) it isn't as important, but I didn't want to tackle this project on my own.

Of cousre listen to what the others above have said.If you want to tackle 2 or 3 at a time you will probably want to borrow that money paying those high points.

My strategy is to tackle this on Sunday's while watching hgtv.

However, if you're strictly looking for water efficiency, their is a prioritized order to tackle things - I'm probably stating the obvious.Toilets use the most water  - there are numerous technologies to help out with toilets.I wouldn't want to see you address dishwashers until you added one of the many inexpensive water saving devices to your toilets.

Lots of athletics types on BP (for example, I think I saw an all American football newbie today, and  I have an interview with a former Clemson football captain, now tackling real estate big time, in my blog here on BP, viewable in my profile).

The way I see it is, while your taxes are relatively basic, you own one or two properties, and you have more time than money this is something you could tackle yourself. 

Please know there is a great team here on BP that can tackle basically any question or dead end you may hit.

But you can also tackle that.

there is a market for a solid value (with help from a little clever marketing) - a property where all the really tough stuff is done, stuff a DIY would not want to tackle.
