I recently bought a two family home and the basement is fully finished without a kitchen but ample space  and I have been recently toying with the idea of renting the basement atleast as a room sharing however being a older home it doesn't have the kind of electrical capacity to accomodate a decent electric stove which has very high amperage requirements (atleast 150 amps -200 amps) besides I am not considering gas stove as an option.As is I can envision fuse tripping beside I don't have any 220 line,also it gets very cold in winter in the basement so I will most likeli need a supplemental heater in the basement so elctric upgrade seems like a must if I decide to rent it out.However I was wondering would it be a better idea to have solar panels to supplement my additional electrical needs? 

I'm a web designer by trade and was stopped cold...I have a question which REALLY I suppose no one but me and my lawyer can answer but I think some feedback from some super smart BP'rs would be helpful!

and I fix it myself myself.I only recommend this for people who have the time to do it, are handy, and are not afraid of the possibility that a defective light switch could result in adopting a kitten or checking a fence for evil paper wasps could obligate a sibling to adopting a evil Malaysian Tokay Gecko that was not evil enough to deserve death from an unusually cold Florida winter.Being a landlord has had a few completely unexpected consequences lol.

It could be that the prior buyers just got cold feet. 

Have you considered looking up owners of buildings in your target area on the auditors site and cold calling them?

I see you are in the cold country so I can see the need you have. 

I have given up with mailings, and I am spending less and less time cold calling because most numbers I find for decision makers are not correct. 

Would it be best to try marketing to them some how or do a little research and cold call?

My problem is I keep getting the cold shoulder due to the nature of house flipping...large amounts of money in and out and no steady pay throughout the year.

I love to cold call.
