I believed the unit was freezing when an STR guest would turn the AC on with cool temperatures outside and locked out the thermostat range... which got me to this Feb when my electric bill tripled. 

Long term rentals is not working and the turnaround for airbnb is costly we are now charging tenants for electricity they consume.

Which I have done. it. all.To top that all off, the insurance company made me put a new roof on both structures (I think the roof had a bit of life left in it, but ok) - another $11k - and the main house needs around $6k worth of electrical that the previous owner didn't do properly ("fully remodeled" my ***).

I left the industry to pursue a career in wholesale electrical sales and am now a project manager at Summit Electric Supply.

It could even include technical work such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, carpentry etc.

Other than that, there may or may not be a water main, sewer hookup, or electric at the site. 

I upped the electrical service from 200 Amps to 400 Amps to accommodate future car charger(s). 

framing, electric, adding walls?

The title company did a search and found out the sellers haven't passed a electrical and mechanical inspections and owed money to the county for delays.
