As a licensed Master Electrician, a home is code proper to the year it was built. However, to appease the buyer, if the home is old enough to not have a ground wire in the cable sheath, then the cheapest route is to install GFCI outlets or breakers for the plug circuits, as compared to running ground wires to all the plugs, & this method is code compliant.

As a licensed Master Electrician, stop directing people to open up breaker boxes with potential live wires. Obviously, non licensed electricians do not know the potential of an arc flash. Ultimately, the inexperienced layman does not need to be exposed to something that has the potential to take their life. Turning a breaker off to replace a plug, switch, light, or appliance is okay. If you do not know what you are doing with electricity, then DO NOT open the breaker/fuse box.

Thank you Thomas. I will consider rentals on distressed properties selling for ARV and homes that have a minimum of 30% equity.
