Also, this is Jewish history.

You can also search for properties with rental licenses (at least in the county). This has the added benefit of screening out landlords who aren't legit.

realtors don't manage the property, they just list them and show them. The listing agent represents either the owner or the owner's property manager. You can get your own realtor to show you places if you want to; I don't think it costs you anything.
You might be appealing to an owner because it sounds like your income is very reliable. If the rest of your application shows well, I bet many owners/managers would be fine with the income.
Also, there are a bunch of posts here you can find via search of people recommending various property management companies.

>Check your local code for smoke/co2 detectors, arcfault circuit breakers and make sure to have neutrals in the switch locations.
In addition to the mentioned reasons to check code, you'll want to see code on how often to staple the wire, how much slack to leave, when to use pigtails in boxes (probably always!).
Also, whenever I'm doing significant reno work in a room and rewiring it, I try to put lighting and receptacles on different circuits. I'll do the lights first, and then I have nice bright overhead lights to work under when doing all the rest of the electrical.
Lastly; this is personal preference, but I like to use dimmable can lights with a non-lit fan because I'm tall and always duck under the fan even if I don't have to.

Couple things here.
- I did my own stainless liner install for my wood fireplace insert. My approach was to give it a try and get help if I couldn't get it to work. It worked fine.
- You should look up the installation manual for your furnace and water heater; many of the new high-efficiency ones won't work properly with a 5" vertical exhaust. You may be able to vent out the side of the house instead.

Well Jewish history is of course much much older than Christian history. Some, but not very much, of Jewish history is commonly held as the foundation of Christianity.
It's also worth pointing out that Jewish history is both the history of a people and of a religion, and while they overlap a lot, the history of the people is bigger.
Christianity as most of us know it developed mostly independently of Judaism after the destruction of the temple. There was a divide that formed fairly quickly between the Jewish and gentile followers of Christ. You can see this happening in the New Testament in places like the book of James, where James is disagreeing with Paul somewhat on works vs faith. In other places you'll find Paul telling the gentile Christian that they should not be circumcised nor follow the Law because they are not Jewish. This was not a popular opinion among many Jewish followers of Jesus. The divide really takes off though when Rome starts persecuting Jews but not yet Christians, and Jewish followers of Jesus get scooped up in that, while Gentile ones likely avoided association for protection from persecution. The loss of their ties to Judaism left a huge gap in the early formation of Christian theology.. access to the texts.
Which brings us back to this article. With a more complete lens to look at the early formation of scripture (and a more generous orthodoxy to leave room for what it can teach us) students of the history of both Judaism and of Christianity will have more opportunity for growing together, as we should have been all along.
