They may have rules about when contractors can come and go.

Separate HVAC systems are a good idea too—makes things easier for tenants and utility billing.I’d also recommend talking to a contractor or local utility company about what’s needed for separate power meters and mailboxes.

If that is one of the only contractors and the lien is considerable that’s another story - but not enough info to tell

Quote from @Michael Brzozowski: If you need renovations once you decide on something, im contractor currently looking for investors to work with:) I will keep this in mind.

Do you have a a significant budget to get plumbing, electrical, mechanical, etc to the building? 

Here are a few additional ideas that have worked for me and others in competitive markets like Austin:Off-Market Leads from Contractors: I had a friend who rehabbed a house in North Austin last year.

Think of it as the rough sketch that helps you figure out where you want to swim: Omaha’s stable single-family rentals with decent cash flow and strong appreciation potential, the sizzling up-and-coming pockets around San Antonio where off-market deals still lurk if you’re willing to roll up your sleeves, or those tight-knit Chicago neighborhoods where a trusted investor-friendly agent can point you to contractors who won’t ghost you mid-reno.

From house hunting, to house building.If anyone can recommend a contractor in Greater Lisbon area, I'm happy to hear it :-)

I just had a vacancy come up in the middle of a fourplex escrow and the seller had the unit re-rented in under a week for $50/more per month. 6) Yes it's hot, but with individual metering the landlord doesn't foot the electric bill 7) Yes the market is competitive here, but mostly for 3/4 unit properties.

Are all 4 units metered for gas and electric separately or on master meter?
