And if I was one of your clients, I would much rather you put your energy into defending me in court, then learning how to properly patch, sand, tape, and prep the walls for painting.I personally have painted a couple of my own projects, but I had the time and somewhat knowledge and experience, and also had run to the bottom of my budget at those times.A few tips/comments which may be helpful:*  As someone else previously posted - gets multiple quotes (3-5)* Ask you fellow realtor friends/associates for painter referrals* Check NextDoor.com for painter referrals* Go to the professional paint stores (Dunn-Edwards, Benjamin Moore, etc) and ask them for referrals.

I'd rather not ask my parents or family members to co-sign eitherSo the question is what would you do and recommend in my situation Have you spoken to the seller and said look, I am 19 so I do not ahve 2 years tax history.

I’m hoping I’ll either get a tip on what direction to look into or possibly even get connected with an investor.
