Water bills are up 50% to 100%, electric bills are up 33% and gas bills are up 30%, and of course tax bills are up and new bills for new items are created. 

New plumbing, electrical, well, - shouldn't have any cap x expenses for a while!

Infact, it's advertised online with the Realtor.com site showing all the amenities of my apartment, the electrical, the plumbing, the windows, the door, the shower and toilet and even the kitchen sink so obviously it must be legal because I can't see an agent of his caliper risking his career and livelyhood for undisclosed info.

I saw this in a story regarding an event in Las Vegas: Marjorie Taylor Greene, speaking at a Donald Trump rally, tackled the topic of electric vehicles in a way that left many attendees puzzled.

Aloha Dirk,  Like in most places,  Hawaii has a mix bag of contractors from really good reasonably  priced ones to dirt cheap shady ones that do shoddy work that could lead to fire (bad electrical work) or health issues (mold) for tenants.

Check everything like handrail on the interior stairs to make sure none of the brackets are broken, loose electrical sockets etc.It will depend on the age and condition of the house.

As in increased electricity bill anyone? 

I have zero experience with this but how would you deal with electric and other utilities? 

So I basically would want a person who looks at the whole house and gives me the appraisal cost, the areas that need fixing (ex. kitchen cabinets, tiles, bathrooms, plumbing, electricity, etc.), and how much the cost would be.Then this way, I could decide to proceed or not based on the assessment.

If anyone out there is looking for trusted trades in HVAC, Electrical, Roofing, Foundatio, Framing, Painting, Drywall, Cleaners, Junk Removal, etc., let me know.
