All were extensive renovations.

Working on an extensive rehab now and will be trying to get a Section 8 tenant in there.

There is an unfinished attic space that could be made into a common room if drywall was installed then painted.

My husband and I have stuck with properties that don't need extensive changes.  

If they are plugging in space heaters that's fine, the worst that SHOULD happen is a tripped branch circuit breaker. 15A (bedrooms, lighting circuits, living area, lighting) breakers do not like space heaters. 20A (kitchen GFI outlets, bathroom GFIs, most dining rooms) will take the "abuse" a lot better.The way I see it here, you need to make sure your heaters cannot be fed by 120v if they are 240v, this is accomplished by handle ties or a breaker built for the purpose, they are less than $10.Second, f they want to pay for the inefficient heat of space heaters them let them, but advise them not to plug into anything but a 20A circuit, which isn't always ideal short of running extension cords.Fixed electric heat is the cheapest option if you don't have to pay for the electricity. 

We are looking at a potential property to flip, but the rehab is so extensive I'm trying to determine if tearing down and building new would be a better option for this one.We have run our numbers for both alternatives, but I was curious what Atlanta area investors are paying their contractors (price/sq.ft) to do a complete "gut down to the studs" rehab with mid-high grade finishes.And on the other hand, what should you expect to pay in the Atlanta area for a new build with mid-high grade finishes (price/sq.ft.)?

Even though I knew the unfinished look was turning people off, after six showings and no applications, it started to wear on me a bit.
