Because it is a personal decision which needs to be based on education which is then applied to your personal situation.I know what I might do in a similar situation (as would other people).

As a land lord, you will need to build your rolodex of sub contractors anyways, so I would focus there on finding a good painter, flooring guys and general handyman to help you turn the units well/cheaply. 

I'd love to have some time to work on it and our existing business but if a full salary is better I can start really moving forward applying to jobs in advance.

If the existing trim and doors have a high gloss lacquer coating the painter will likely need to sand and prep all of the woodwork.If you were just painting walls and ceilings and touching up trim I would expect to pay around $3,000, but with the additional $1,400 for ceiling retexturing, and $1,000+ for wallpaper removal and additional labor to sand and prep all woodwork the $6k quote doesn't seem too unreasonable.The only way to know if the quote is high is to get 2 other quotes from other painting contractors for comparison.

New or activated credit lines while applying for a loan potentially could disqualify you.I keep my opportunity fund in a non-retirement money market account.   

I'm unfamiliar with the process however so not sure if these will apply in this scenario, or if s8 will play a factor.

I was 22 when applied for mine. 

It seems like everyone has some sort of issue and there's alot of single people applying that just make the requirements. 

You should interview them as well when applying for the job.
