Heating/AC, appliances, electrical, windows, paint, etc. 

Is there the occasional premature part failure, of course, but even Mercedes has recalls from time to time, no manufacturer does the QC on electrical components they use. 

In November 2018, I purchased a $63,000 ruined house on the South Side of Chicago, in an African-American neighborhood, and started renovating it, both with my own hands and with outside experts in plumbing, electrical, etc.

I am a HVAC technician in new york, and recently came across the NYSERDA clean heat program incentivizing the installation of electric heat pumps.

He bought a 4.5KW electric radiant heater with windows open at night. 

But, if there’s a roof, bad plumbing, electric, water damage mold, if there’s multiple BIG issues, it’s a no go as it will not be cheap.

When preparing for the inevitable costs, always make sur you know the age/condition of your big ticket items.Roof, plumbing, windows, electrical, HVAC, foundation 

who is paying the water and electric on the washer/dryer usage?  

All new insulation, electrical, plumbing, drywall, new water heater, pump, burner, etc. etc. etc. 

Well, I ran out of wall plates for some electrical outlets and I need to hang a blind in the kitchen window, but other than that this condo apartment renovation is in the books.
