I have just Googled How to Paint a House and it's fantastic the results that showed up - a load of rubbish obviously authored by graduates from The school of No-Idea. I believe a lot of these sites are just Adsense traps and some of the advice is simply wrong.
So listen up and I will make it easier for you to color your flipping fixer-upper and literally save thousands. likely the most significant thing about painting a home, or painting anything for what it's worth, is to have the right kit. Good painting gear is costly but it'll save you some time and money and the job will look miles better. If you do not want to buy all of the gear you can hire a lot of it. But at least invest in good-quality brushes and rollers. Don't feel tempted to buy those shitty tiny plastic trays and Chinese brushes that are always on special at the hardware store.
Before use wash them and roll them out to get any fluff or fibers off. You may spend hundreds on this gear but it will be worth it.
While you're in the consultant paint store get yourself a'spinner' - this is a device you put the paint sleeves or covers on to spin the last of the paint out while holding it under running water ( for acrylic ). You may also use it for cleaning enamel from roller-sleeves and brushes. I wouldn't play a role without a spinner. They're expensive but will last a lifetime. Every professional painter has one in his kit.
Also pick up some professional canvas drop-sheets. Avoid them like the plague. And don't think you can make-do with paper or old sheets - more difficulty than they're worth. The paint just lies on plastic and you end up traisping it through the house. And with old sheets the paint just goes straight thru.
But do not worry - it will pay for itself after two jobs.
Before using any of your fancy new brushes wash them in soapy hot water. Rinse in clean hot water then flick or spin them dry. Don't store them bristles down or they'll be ruined. Either store them flat ( I occasionally wrap them in newspaper ) or on their handles with the bristles up. If i'm using my hog-bristle enamel brushes a lot I shop them in Mineral Turpentine ('Turps' or'White Spirit' ) by drilling a hole thru the ferrule ( the metal part that holds the brushes ) inserting a length of coat-hanger wire and postponing them over a pan of Turps so that the bristles are covered. Some brushes I store in linseed oil if I am not going to be using them for awhile. Use a liquid brush restorer first if you have got to.

Do not be a skinflint - you're gonna use lots of this stuff - it makes the difference between a professional-looking job and a happy-home-handyman job. The first thing I see with a painting is have the openings been filled? I'm talking about the gaps around doors, windows, cornices ( where the ceiling meets the walls ) and mouldings.
