This post is based on recent numbers in my area - I'm sure it will vary based on geography and based on the utility supplier.One house where I am converting is serviced by PECO for natural gas (they are also the electricity utility, but that does not matter for this thread).

You get a lot more out of live classes with live interaction.

We put glass block in to repalce the old ones and even the advanced glue type block windows mold.If you want a window to vent the room, get a bath fan.If you want a window for natural light, get a skylight or a solar tube.

Hasn't helped me directly in real estate, but my analytical nature in general definitely helps.I'm glad I went to college, but in all honesty if I had known then that I wanted to pursue real estate, I may have skipped it altogether.

We do NOT have natural gas in my area.

Yep.To some extent, this just seems the nature of the beast.

Although I've never interacted with them.

I would just talk about stuff in a general nature and meet with people PRIVATELY if they want to talk specifics.

Though I understand the complex nature of needing to keep the tenant comfortable with their position in the home, I would be hesitant to represent yourself as an insurance agent.
