I know you weren't trying to be snarky, but it also sounds like you've drawn a conclusion here that I wanted mommy and daddy to get me out of tax jail, and that I came to BiggerPockets in the hopes someone would reverse-engineer the ethics of that for me.

Also, engage either an architect or civil engineer, or both. 

> All new electric why?

I want to rent them out separately and wondering if I’m able to just add a mailbox and label each door as ‘A’ and ‘B’ Also, how do you separate electricity/utility bills for each tenant?

It needs roof, ac, electrical, possibly plumbing, new bathroom, new kitchen, flooring repair, siding and fascia repair, and on top of that there is some fire damage.

I like when the tenant puts a check in the electrical panel box and landlord picks it up on the first.

➡️ Has any major electrical work been completed?

For example, a house built in 1920 with new HVAC, new roof, and a new electrical panel might be a better buy than a house built in 1950 with original systems.For the gardener services, why have a line item for it if you are handling it?

That could be one contractor depending on what is needed or several for different specialties like electric, plumbing, drywall, and so on.

I'm 24, working in the Texas oilfields, have a Mechanical Engineering degree, and sitting on some cash.
