Thank you mods for merging my posts. After posting I realised that I should have merged the posts, but by then the damage has already been done.

Seriously, you got to stop making yourself look like gods gift to the world. Every post you make you start off like you know everything. God damn.

I'll respond to your second comment first.
First, I do not apologise for your perception. I do not make myself out to be anything more than I am.
Second, I did not say that my way is the only way, or even the right way. People are free to believe what they want.
Third, I know a lot about a very small number of topics. Unlike many people, I do not comment on topics that I do not have in-depth knowledge. Look at the hundreds if not thousands of threads in Off Topic. I stay out of most of them if I have no idea what I'm talking about.
As per your first comment, the OP asked:

You are correct that I was slightly off-topic, but again this is the Off Topic forum, so being off-topic somewhat is not as important as other sections.
To make my comments more relevant to the OP's question:
I find my info to help repair my house from my 10 years of experience flipping millions of dollars in real estate. There is no real teacher like experience.
Knowing HOW to do various things is not hard. You can learn it by reading books or the Internet, taking classes/seminars, doing apprenticeships, etc. Find what works for you.
I personally have a set of various experts that I can consult with. I have licensed electricians, plumbers, general contractors, and realtors/brokers that I consult for general questions.
For specialised skills (e.g. HVAC, granite, tile, drywall, hardwood, etc.), I can get references from my general contractors.
Knowing WHAT to do requires a different set of skills. Nobody can really tell me what to do other than me trying a bunch of different things and falling on my face and learning from my mistakes.
From your simple question I anticipated that you will run into a lot of problems new homeowners usually encounter. I hope that I am wrong, but I gave you some advice to help focus your efforts. You can take it for what it's worth.
I took a little bit of my time to pass my experience on to you. If you don't like it or disagree then it's fine. I am not asking for any recognition.
I just want you to be successful in the things you do. Much joy and success to your home owning experience.
