I believe that would be the best tens of hours that you can spend on the subject.Once you have that done, you should be able to dig into some specific subjects by looking at other sources that have some different opinion to make your choice.

This choice is coming very expensive. 2.

We all have that choice.

If you're looking for a booking system, there are quite a few choices in the marketplace.Three options to consider for calendar syncing and I've tested all three successfully (though I'm a PC user and it may differ if you're a MAC person):1.  

Kids would tie my shoes while I fell asleep in the bus.

I know a carpet company that operates this way and I always say NO because of this approach.The choice is yours.

Any idea why they are calling it "Houston Choice Voucher Program" rather than Section 8? 

Once we both agree that I will be your contractor of choice for your project, I charge a percentage up front, i.e.- recent kitchen remodel for a GC I have a relationship with, total contract $4100, mobilization = $500, completion of rough work = $1200, completion of final work = $1200, completion of final inspection = $1200.

I would focus on exterior appearance through siding choice, landscaping, and as everyone else has already mentioned, putting more focus on the entry. $1500 in landscaping would be much more well spent than paying someone to come and frame new openings and drywall/paint work.I will however say that I'm not a huge fan of your choice of colors for the new siding.

It is a classic choice and you have a lot of options (standard, brick, herringbone, etc).
