Unlicensed electrical work

[Adam Hermsen]

Hello everyone, I am a new here and looking to get started in real estate investing in Milwaukee, WI.  I understand that you are allowed to do your own electrical work on your primary residence, however you need a licensed professional to do the work if it is a rental property.  Can you perform the electrical work yourself if you are living in the property but intend to use the property as a rental later on?  What about a 2 unit property where I am living in one unit and renovating the other unit?  (With the other unit being vacant, i.e. as the owner of the building, I would be the only one living there).

Thank you!

Adam
