I'm scouting multi-families to househack, so ideally somewhere that needs cosmetic improvement but isn't totally in the hood.Historic Kenwood looks exciting(!)

For reconnection : you'll want to make sure the A) gas valve is working well B) the thermocouple is working well & sending signal to pilot without effort C) the igniter is working well OR, the tenant can reasonably easily reach in with a match or BBQ lighter to light the pilot.

Still a newbie, but wanted to obtain my real estate license while I learn more.I work full-time at nights so my ideal schedule is during the day.

Ideally transfer the money into a different financial institution from that account.

If I'm not mistaken though, they are changing the CONUS BAH rules soon to match OCONUS rules where the BAH you get will only be enough to cover your actual rent instead of a flat rate. 

It would be a good ideal to paint all treated areas with a stain blocking primer including the wood members, studs and sub-flooring if affected.

Could anyone also comment on what an ideal contract in this scenario should look like? 

They seemed ideal, they paid rent early and kept the place reasonably clean. 

Write a good ad,  Pre-screen applicants for a basic match before showing, arrange showings. 7.

I think it would be hard to match that kind of deal anytime soon.
