Electric: is the easiest to split, but may require holes cut in walls to separate the units.Gas: gas lines aren't as flexible as wires, but it can usually be done affordably.Water: most cities will NOT install additional water meters on a property.

How many are you installing a year?

But, know what you want to accomplish beforehand.Creative Finance is a great way to buy properties when done properly and lawfully. 

However, I am unsure on how to go about finding the proper handyman/maintenance guy/management team to help run any out-of-state investments I make.

Do my 3 associates need to create a LLC to be able to do these renovations or can any individual do them, as long as proper permits are pulled? 

- Of course, most of these PMCs weren't even properly licensed and were typically one-person companies.If you have an LLC, the PMC will only need the LLCs EIN.- If you chose to set up your LLC as a pass-thru entity, then you will need to supply your SSN.FYI - to avoid getting nasty letters from the IRS about errors (which might cause us to be audited), we will ask for a copy of your EIN assignment letter or a copy of your SSN card to confirm those numbers.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

@Albert Gallucci as many have pointed out, in the commercial space of 100+ apartment buildings and offices, property classes have some pretty decent industry standards.We started applying these to 1-4 unit properties around 10 years ago, which you can verify on our blogs, because we saw too many newbie investors not properly taking into account things like, neighborhood status, tenant pool, property condition, etc.Unfortunately, there's no industry standard for this, but you can use some basic logic to think your way through your own Classifications.
