Three out of five bedrooms are ready to decorate and occupy and two need finishing (plumbing, heating, water, electric - all done.

.) $17,000 +-Tenants will pay gas and electric and we will pay water/sewer and trash.

Is this electric quote too high?

Would like recommendations on a reliable method to generate electricity without huge upfront cost. 

It costs me 3200 with ductwork and electric.  

About $1800 in random repairs, some missing cracked shingles, hvac drainage line repair, a few electrical items, minor mold in crawl,  drainage line on pressure relief valve of water heater The most annoying part was that the appraiser said the railings on the porch had to have gap less than 4 inches.

Can he do electric, plumbing etc?

Make sure that electric, water and gas is on before inspection and still good inspector can tell you about overall condition of the house.

I would only ever bring in a plumber/electrician if A) it was a large multi-family (a dozen or more units - which I haven't yet graduated to) or B) I knew there were potential major electrical/plumbing issues.

They have changed most of the electrical, there still is a little knob and tube left that they will probably have to fix before lender will loan us the money probably if we decide to buy this.
