I'd tape off the trim and brush the perimeter with a large brush and then roll the rest.  

Persistence is the key to success, if you fall down, get up brush yourself off and learn not to do it that way again. 

I'm 33 years young, graduated from Washington State University in 2013 with a doctorate in Pharmacy, lived in East Vancouver for 18 years and relocated to the Brush Prairie/Orchards area. 

Dark laminate with sherwin Williams ellie gray, white cabinets and brushed nickel hardware/ light fixtures is what I like

My guess is a lot of first time RE agents start out trying to be 'investor friendly' but give up after the 100th out of state investor asks them to send their 100th 70%-of-asking LOI and after 6 months of running all over and calls, and emails, and being laughed at by selling agents, they stop.Not trying to paint all investors with a broad brush (hell, I'm an investor), but most agents don't want to bother.   

Don't forget to provide toilet bowl brush and plunger in each bathroom.These are all expenses you can write-off come tax time. 

That's a broad brush statement, which, like most of its kind, is not true.

Trimming nails and brushing cats weekly.

Brush clearing-if it is a vine and I rip it out - it will be poison ivy but that is probably not an issue by you. 

However, I like to stop by and check on the property and do minor yard/tree/brush clean up or repair projects that are less expensive for me to do than for the PM to hire out.
