Even if it's a two-gang or three-gang switch box, they make plates that will cover the one slot you're hardwiring.I'm in the electrical supply industry so PM if you have questions.Thx

We install the cheap stuff on the back wall on a roll at HD with a mid-grade pad (A properties).  

I have a rent drop box installed on the inside of the caller door with a mail slot to drop the rent envelope into.

I always pad a little incase of evictions.

But others that are only in the planning stages have gone to the back burner, perhaps never to surface again.When the stock market crashed in October 1929, many ambitious plans that would have changed the face of New York simply vanished.For real estate developers, 1929 seemed like a slot machine stuck in the pay position.

I'd like to do fill up all my conventional loan slots with properties like this.I'm also looking at 5-20 units properties, but I havent consolidated my criteria just yet on those. 

A combination of being out of state (although I will be relocating to Memphis to stabilize the properties), being out of Fanny slots, being 99% cash flow focused (looking for 25-30 amortization not 15), and dealing with asset prices from 40-60k make this pretty difficult.I spoke with a lady at a local bank in Memphis yesterday and she suggested something I hadn't thought of.  

A skillful investor can hedge risk in either activity, but it is hard to control things like interest rates and whether or not the government decides to issue tax credits for buying at certain time slots.
