Our daughter just turned five, but she knows how to sew, knit, paint, embroider, sing, and dance, which may not seem like a big deal until you wake up on the weekend to find your four-year-old knitting a scarf for one of her dolls that she made. 

I don't yet have a contract with her and could choose someone else.Also, I'm in CA, where arbitration clauses seem to be included in the standard contract.

I'm a little nervous about a 1/1 home and septic/well -- I understand that selling, when I choose to, might take a little longer, but, at this point, I think I would just hang on to it as a rental and milk it for the cash flow. 

Hard surface floors throughout so some drywall repairs and a fresh paint with a few misc repairs. 

That being said if you want to make a career out of real estate choose a major that reflects your passion.In every student market you will have access to MULTIPLE property management companies, agents who manage portfolios and leasing offices at apartment complexes.

The savings is only ~$1,000 or so for surfacing cost, if you choose a reasonable color pebble.   

Borrowers will be provided an upfront disclosure detailing this information.Contractor(s) Acceptance:  A borrower must choose his or her own contractors to perform the needed renovation.All Contractors participating in the HomeStyle Renovation Program must complete a Contractor Profile Report.

A lot of questions to answer but to each their own on how you choose to invest and whats right for you. 

What ever you save in the front end may be more then lost in the back end by the problems they create.In summary choose the best asset you can afford in the market you want to invest in.

I read up some things and one of them would be to register the home since it was built in the early 1900s and has lead-based paint.
