This income is also subject to self employment tax (SET). 

I got a book on framing and watched some construction projects to learn that end of things but the drywall repair was pretty much trial and error and self-taught.

This is based on the numbers you've provided and assumes the unit occupied by the maintenance person is a 1 bedroom unit and that you'll self-manage. 

As of now, we understand that the IRS is allowing self-certification of Qualified Opportunity Funds.

HI my name is Colin I'm 21 I live in Canada and  I'm brand new to Bigger pockets and I'm looking to buy my first property sometime in the summer but until then I'm just trying to educate my self as much as possible.

Would this effect the property value by decreasing the income I could have had for this unit or could rehab be considered a years rent for tax and property value purposes? 

If you get past that hurdle you might need a self locking gate and fence.  

I would suggest just watching a quick tutorial on youtube on how to build one your self since its pretty basic and straightforward.

Aside from the differences in ideology, I find the discussions stem in part from the underlying premises and the syntax used.Basically if money should return at least 10% on average, the leverage camp [which I'd consider myself] more or less views a return below that baseline as effectively "negative CF". 

@Schuyler Hayes for those of us who are self managing our portfolios as we build them, I think using free tools is the way to go.
