I will not be competing for any of the people already looking for homes in an area.I wish to bring in completely fresh prospects who will naturally look over other offerings in the area, once I have piqued their interest with an appealing property.If I accept one of those 'lease to own' plans,does that entitle me to try and resell the property?

I'm certain you would tell that lender to go kick rocks.

Oil, natural gas or electric?

Personally, I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't buy any property that doesn't cashflow, at least if you're early in your investing career (like I am) or don't have a number of cashflowing/appreciating properties to offset potential losses while trying to buy only for natural appreciation.

Skylights are an easy addition to my renovations; they provide plenty of natural light (i.e. kitchens, bathrooms).

We put in a new AC unit, breaker box, roof, tore out rotted wood on the roof of the back addition, new insulation in the back room, new windows all around, all new doors, new siding, collapsed the septic tank and added a sewer line to the street, moved walls and opened walls inside, tore out the rock driveway and poured a concrete driveway, new fencing front and back, we also replaced some of the old steel plumbing with pex. 

For a project of this nature, I would never recommend hiring a civil engineer unless they are very dynamic otherwise they will not see the bigger picture of the project, and usually aren't established to take on a project of your type with many other non-civil disciplines. 

.- We live on a dirt/rock road that is often maintained  like once a month at least.  

Color modifications, adding light sources that don't naturally exist etc, can really make a space look great, but in person, those things don't exist.
