Can a homeowner hire a unlicensed person to do repairs on a rental property after a tenant vacates even if in the end the work totals more than 500?

You can hire whomever you want to effect your repairs. Bear in mind though that an unlicensed contractor is probably also an uninsured contractor and your home insurance company will not provide coverage for the contractors work.

Does homeowners insurance stay with property or homeowner when he moves?
Homeowners insurance is NOT transferable. It will not follow the Homeowner to a new property nor will it cover the home for the new owner. If the homeowner sells or vacates the home or transfers ownership by other means the policy is null and void at the moment the property changes hands whether or not the Insurance company has been notified. A new owner must qualify for their own insurance policy based on their own merits.
If you do not sign the lease are you responsible for repairs?
NOT ON PAPER PER SAY BUT SOMEONE CAN STILL TAKE YOU TO COURT AND WIN IF THEY CAN PROVE YOU UTILIZED PREMISES ON A REGULAR BASIS AND IF YOU ASSUMED RESPONSIBLITIES FOR OTHER THINGS IN RESIDENCE, AND IF YOU MADE A VERBAL AGREEMENT AND THAT CAN BE PROVEN. * The landlord is responsible for repairs and maintenance on the property unless a written agreement has been made stating otherwise. Usually a tenant is required to make a security deposit which is used for any needed repairs and cleaning expenses when the tenant vacates the property.

What happens when someone is given a life estate and vacates the property willingly?
Unless statute modifies the common law where you are, nothing happens. The life tenant still has a life estate over the property until the life tenant takes some legal steps to alienate that life estate, i.e. 1. by selling it, at which point it becomes and estate pur autre vie, which is just like a life estate, except that it ends when the person dies from whom it was acquired, or 2. dies (which the life tenant may or may not decide to do).

If i have recently found a property that i wish to own on lease plus a monthly rent and i wish to know whether you will have to pay this upfront or whether you can pay it in monthly installments?
You cannot have a property on lease and also on monthly rent. If it is a lease it is an agreement between the landlord and the tenant who pays a lumpsum amount as a deposit to the landlord for a fixed term of years and after the term is over the landlord returns the lumpsum amount deposited with him to the tenant without any interest and the tenant vacates the property. Here the landlord uses the deposit amount for his use and after term expires returns the amount without interest. If an amount is paid as advance the (normally less than the lease amount) amount is also returned to the tenant after the period, but in addition to the lumpsum amount a monthly rent is also being paid, which is non-returnable.
Why unearned rent is liability?
Because if the tenant vacates the premisses you are required to return unearned rent. There are complications to that, say if they damaged the rental unit and part of the rent was as a security deposit... but if you're referring to actual prepaid rent... then you are required to return any unearned rent.
