Here are some things to look for from an Insurance prospective:1.Any in-ground tanks (active or inactive)2.Any Knob & Tube or Aluminum Wiring3.If built before 1978, does the building have Lead Safe certifications4.Any wood stoves or secondary heating units.

The electrician would have known to check the outlet for a ground wire and other potential defects like aluminum wiring, so you should be good.

They have never seen a shop and it cost no more than 3 to 5 dollars a week for both cars for energy to drive them.. thereby saving us at least 500 a month in gas maybe more.they are the safest cars on the road.. the way they are built all aluminum and no engine up front to end up in your lap.they are way cool  to drive  very fast.. handle great..

This doesn't mean there is no crime, but the most serious my tenants have had is a trash bag full of aluminum cans stolen from their back yard, one break in to a vacant unit (nothing stolen), and neighborhood graffiti (one of my cities is pretty good at cleaning this up within 48 hours). - My tenants are (usually) not rich highly compensated individuals, as my properties are on the more affordable side. 

Aluminum wiring?

I am in southeastern wisconsin.

I'm hoping for a favorable appraisal so I refinance to a conventional loan with 20% equity though a higher appriasal value.I have performed several updates including installing a new roof, new aluminum gutters, updating one of the units (kitchen & 1.5baths), french drain system, new paint throughout, etc, etcDo you have any recommendations for a Noob to the refinance process?

I'm scoping deals out in the greater Southeastern WI area.

You want something with some kind of siding: metal, aluminum, vinyl, or brick.

Below are some generalizations about locations and ongoing maintenance costs: Older properties require more maintenance than newer properties.Composition roofs require more maintenance than tile roofs.Properties in climates with hard freezes require more maintenance than properties in milder climates.Properties in locations with a lot of moisture require more maintenance than properties in dryer climates.Wood siding requires more maintenance than aluminum or stucco siding.Properties with lush vegetation require more maintenance than properties with little or no vegetation.SummaryUsing the above criteria and considerations, I believe you will be able to narrow your focus to a small set of cities.
