OT Home repairman: Painting the outside of my home. Paint sprayer?

The outside of my home needs a touchup and this heat outside is for the birds. So im thinking about ditching the paint brush and gonna invest in a paint sprayer.
Does anyone have a paint sprayer? If so, is it worth the money and what brands should I lean to/lean away from?
Or, if anyone knows someone who would paint for cheap...

Don't waste time getting any of that Wagner crap you see on TV. There's a reason it's cheaper than the rest.
I have a Graco I bought years ago from Sherwin Williams and it still works great. Paid $800 for it though but it's a contractor series. They have others that can be bought for cheaper and will suffice for you.
I would just look into renting one though if I were you.

Just pay someone to paint, how often are you going to need a paint sprayer

Just coming to post this. I see too many people buy new ones thinking and never getting their money's worth out of it.

He could buy 10 paint sprayers for the markup on painting.

I have one of the "project" size Graco sprayers. Worked great to paint the inside of a house, walls and ceiling, in a weekend a few years ago. You'll need to practice a bit to get the settings and feel right so you'll still have to keep a brush or roller to deal with runs until you get it down. Takes way less paint at the nozzle than you think it does. You'll need to invest in plastic sheeting and probably one of those tape guns, overspray is going to happen. They have made them pretty easy to clean up too.

I never had the house re-painted outside since we moved in. So im estimating re-painting every 2 years. I can also use the painter to repaint some rooms inside my home. (esp my childs room). Im pretty sure he doesnt want nursery room colors forever.
I was looking at the Graco 360 LINK and it seems like this could be good for $200. Using it once maybe twice a year. Unless my dad or grandpa wants to borrow it.

No. Those guns like that are junk and you have to constantly stop to refill them which can get messy. They also spit and sputter more in my experience.
If you are deadset on buying one spend a little more and get a true airless rig.
This would be way better

So would this

And so on...

To use a sprayer inside to paint the walls in an average room is not worth it. By the time you buy plastic, cover everything up, it's easier to just roll the walls.
And when spraying the paint will go everywhere. Spray outside with the least little bit of breeze and you will be getting over spray everywhere.
