I've definitely seen parents purchase properties close to campus to house their kids while they're at school, it's a solid move.

This is definitely less than $150 with a plumber, unless they run into some issues.Any handyman can do this job for less than $80.The high price is probably due to your PM hiring a plumber when they should have hired a handyman to save you some money.

Definitely there is a lot of opportunity for him to learn a lot from this property if he is receptive to acquiring the knowledge.  

This is definitely a place where you can learn and move toward that best version of yourself.
