If she is a nurse she could have a job in a few days, If she is nuclear physicist it may take awhile to find employment.

Lately, I've been a pharmacist by day, night, and weekend (retail, specialty, and nuclear) in Phoenix, AZ, while trying to aggressively pay off student loans.

@Carter Bushman The reason you are seeing a lot of for sale signs in Irmo and Chapin is because the VC Summer Nuclear Power Plant just quit construction on 2 reactors.  

Maybe one day it will be supplanted by China, or some other nation, or nuclear hell will rain down and people will trade in chicken legs and ammunition, but until then you can do much, much worse than dollars. 

Licensed contractors have to be RRP-certified, treat the whole place like nuclear disaster strike, and get fined a ridiculous amount of money if any bags aren't taped closed properly (not that I'm bitter....).In all seriousness, the lead/asbestos stuff is likely a non-issue for that age of house, as it was built at the tail-end of all the changes taking place.  

If you're "value-add" strategy has a window less than 5 years then perhaps that might be the best approach but getting approval from the city before going nuclear might provide the best outcome. 

Other markets around the country are going absolutely nuclear so do your due diligence and do not be afraid to jump in the game :)

I work through a union hall doing nuclear plant shutdowns  but it has always been a struggle with any sort of financing because my work is not a year round traditional job.

@Mitchell Wildman I'm not sure if you heard, but Kemmerer, WY is getting a big nuclear power plant belonging to Bill Gates and paid for largely by the US government that, if I am not mistaken, is replacing the coal power plant.

Thing is the vast majority, we are talking 90%+ of agents, know less about REI deals than say disarming a nuclear device.
