I am also currently employed as an intern with a local electrical contractor.

It needs a roof, electrical, and a few other small items and I don't think my traditional agent will bind coverage from what everyone is telling me.

Charge them a fee for using water or electricity IF you pay for either. 

If you buy a 4-Plex and decided  to pull a permit for one Unit to start your renovation project and not the other 3 can the building inspector (plumbing, electric) mandate that you show the other 3 units during the first unit inspection ? 

Could probably get $2,250 with some cleaning and fresh paint, while continuing to pay all utilities.I am considering, however, installing baseboard electric heat and sub-metering the system so tenants will pay for their usage instead.

Do you have an air conditioner that is relatively new and just needed a new evaporator coil or is leaking refrigerant? 

Electricity and gas varies month to month, so why would you mix that in with the rent unless they are being charged a flat fee every month. 

I can do or have connections in Pluming, electrical, drywall, paint, etc. ( Jack of all master of none) as I worked for my uncle a top general contractor in the city of Glendora, and I have experience.

However, with numerous structure issues, electrical and heating issues, it may be a dead deal. 

Though much is also, of course, propelyne glycol(it's in everything) it also hassynthetic hydrocarbons similar to the newer freon refrigerants.
