As a side note, for now this house will be an investment property and will be rented out for a long time and possibly I will keep a room on the upper floor for myself.

You will probably lose two months rent between the vacancy and any repair costs (paint, flooring, etc.).

Simple things I've done as a homeowner/landlord are flooring, painting, trim work, built a mantel, built and arbor, garbage disposal...Being a handy man are skills you can learn for life and there are a lot of good videos on Youtube. ;)
