Yes I already figured on having to pay gas and water already making 2 units electric heat.

Renovations, starting two days post-closure, included overhauls of kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, electrical, and plumbing systems, and the addition of in-unit washer-dryers, with an average expenditure of $33K per unit.

Maybe get some electric scooters or bikes and just charge the guest by the minute.

I went as far as separate electrical meters.

Created en suite bed/bath, extra bedroom/office/playroom, created family/tv room, added a couple of windows in dark rooms, installed new HVAC, ran all new pex lines/valves/shut offs, all new hardwood flooring and carpet, all new and expanded kitchen cabinets, new appliances, converted 1/2 bath into full bath, repurposed 2 unused rooms (1 into a 4th bedroom/office/playroom and one into a family room, installed new interior and exterior lighting, new electric garage door w/remote, and landscaping What was the outcome?

The part-time Super would be happy to get significantly more hours, and we would all get someone reliable that we know & trust who understands basic plumbing, basic-electric, carpentry & painting to handle our tenants' needs as they come-up.

Replaced roof, updated electrical wiring, radon mitigation system What was the outcome?

2) I will very likely need to pull permits for this property and I don't want to and up in a lurch as I am relying on the ability to update the electrical to make this deal happen. 3) Any thoughts as to whether to try to have it rezoned to residential or to multi use?

This 4plex is in a class C or D neighborhood (not exactly sure which) but my realtor and I saw the potential in it due to the cash flow/COC numbers we calculated and the fact it had a ton of work done to it in 2017 to get it to decent shape (all new electrical, furnaces, HWHs, renovated apartments, new roof, all doors and windows, etc.) 

Learned about clean out, demo, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, flooring, design, floor plans, functionality of a home, landscaping, and all the nerves and excitement that come with this business!
