I was having problems mitigating a roach problem in adjacent unit, and the reason i finally realized her less than desirable living habits were creating a roach breeding mega heaven, and incidentally discovered the above mentioned stuff...any small crack or hole in by an electrical outlet plate, had the most vile and gross path of roach feces, full on super highway paths of roach feces into any possible wall void.YUCK!!!

Strip Mall with restaurants and grocery store, Hospitality as its off the turnpike, outlet mall or a small warehouse.Any guidance will be much appreciated! 

For instance, what if a landlord wants to water some flowers around the exterior of the property (a duplex) or take care of a yellow jacket nest?

Electricians will not risk their reputation/license by leaving anything that’s dangerous behind on a job.For it to be up to code, its important that you have the ungrounded outlets on all circuits that have the knob and tube (the two prong type).  

New kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, doors, lightening, outlets, garage door opener, AC, interior/exterior paint, yard cleanup, etcSet a new standard for comps in the neighborhood What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@Ethel WeaverUnfortunately a lot of shoddy owners/contractors will just replace the old wiring behind the outlets and not all the way back to the box like it is supposed to be done.

I had this vacant that just wouldnt move and got terrible feedback until I rented some furniture from a rental place (for 3 ms - $1400), and then I came in and put up some paintings (from home), set up a a bottle of wine with some glasses, put some flowers out, candles...etc.

You might be fine if an outlet in a bedroom doesn't work for years but that doesn't make a tenant nit picky if they ask you to fix it. 

@Mike Flowers,  I'm just the buyer.  

It's now somewhat more diversified with the largest medical center in the country, several universities, a huge variety of retail outlets and restaurants, the dwindling space center, tons of construction, etc.Still, folks are getting nervous as oil prices plummet and companies begin the inevitable rounds of layoffs (yes, it's already happening).
