Keep it simple, call your local building inspection office and ask what are the rules for homeowners /investors working on their own houses. They are paid public officials there to serve the us all. Also, they have access to a tremendous amount of information and connections to those trades that we all need more access to. 
you may also ask where are the regulations stated in writing, then you will have the ability to answer further question you may have regarding these matters

@Bryson Williams look up the rules for your state, in Virginia, if you own the property you can pull your own building permits and do your own work, this includes the mechanicals . I would not venture beyond your skill set and suggest you risk harming yourself, such as getting electrocuted, however, once you have completed your work, have it inspected with the local building inspector. They are there to protect you and those that come after you from not meeting code compliance.

Nothing wrong with putting in the sweat equity, it will make you a better investor and appreciate those that possess skills you do not have.

It takes a team to make all this happen
