I understand that deals need to be made and not easily found, I would implement that same strategies from long distance real estate investing if I was buying properties in Logan, UT because an overall 4 hour commute isn't a good buisness model if you're going to DIY landlording. 

See a DIY book or video on any details for leveling, setting posts, creating the line, cutting, fastners, and the exact process, etc.

Due to what I have learnt and achieved through J&K, it gave Marco cred.

Hi DIY people,I'm in the process of renovating my first investment property and it is becoming time to paint the exterior.

Even if you DIY 

This isn't a DIY process the first time through.You would evict everyone who's on the lease and "and any other occupants" or some such wording on the filings.

First, if the plumbing work required a permit, I wouldn't hire an unlicensed plumber, as they wouldn't be able to pull a permit (and I'll never try to get around pulling permits, as that's a liability risk I don't want to take)...But, if we're talking about work that doesn't need to be permitted -- for example, replacing a trim kit on a faucet, replacing a toilet, etc. -- I'm happy to hire a handyman or a "plumber" who isn't licensed and/or isn't insured.

As a new investor I would caution against DIYing creating an LLC.

Your money is made on the buy and if you cannot spot a saggy roofline or signs of DIY gone wrong you will lose.
