If one of the partners is an electrician, his contribution should be to do some/all of the electrical work, as that would be contributing the most value to the partnership.

. -- this seems way too high.Even if you're paying your electrician a retail price of $100/hour (which you shouldn't be), this would be 50 hours of work if you subtract out material costs.

This forum is very advanced, but I cant find the info Im looking for.I have a 401K ( not huge ), equity in my house, a couple bank accounts, great credit, Im a Licensed Electrician with lots of construction experience.Im reading a lot and a bit overwhelmed, Ive found the Norris Group online, but Im not sure where to begin.Im mainly interested in buying and holding, but will do whatever it takes to get started.I could use a mentor or a partner or any advice you may have.Thanks

It's important to know details like "basement" as opposed to "crawl space" as it has an effect on the costs.Go to local seminars, your REIA meetings etc and meet these types of people like electricians, plumbers etc.

Like I said, a good electrician can do wonders.

Let us know if you encounter ten women while looking for painters, plumbers, electricians, etc.

Many are plastic and the box needs to be metal and anchored so as not be able to be 'wiggled'.A fan in operation can break a plastic box and come crashing down on the occupants.If you don't know how to properly change the box, get an electrician to do it for you.

I had a contractor come out to a house I just purchased and he told me I needed to have a Master Electrician come out to replace my electrical box and also to do the plumbing, and change out the HVAC.

I had supplied my electrician some reflected floor plans a drafted up to make sure all of the ceiling mount electrical boxes we centered in the rooms and followed the lighting layout in the bathroom.And below is the bathroom designNow for the big decision!

Do you know any Day Labor guys or Carpenters or Electricians or AC mechanic types?
