I would encourage you to sit down with a couple of real estate salespersons and choose one based upon experience as well as knowledge of the area. 

Bought under assessed value, slight value add through cosmetic rehab (paint, light fixtures, flooring) What was the outcome?

And I may get multiple bids for the same work, like multiple paint bids, multiple roof bids, multiple flooring bids, etc.

It's lengthy and of course, they can pick and choose what to read or jump around to what they want to learn. 

This was my first property, and while it's been a great learning experience, I made several mistakes along the way—ranging from choosing a realtor who was more focused on closing the deal than finding the right house, to having a poor inspection and overlooking issues hidden beneath the surface (literally).

Just recently I undertook to do some significant painting at two of the buildings and my wife offered to help me out.

Give your property a makeover, a fresh coat of paint.

If the lines are aluminum, we ALWAY replace that like we replace lead paint or lead pipes and asbestos ceiling and tile.
