The remodel would include structural, electrical, etc. for both rooms and adding a bathroom that does not currently exist.

This would be a complete gut on both apartments to include new plumbing and electrical.

Hi BP, so I'm currently in the next phase of getting my first rental property all fixed up and ready to rent, and am essentially looking to meet someone (or some people) who can help with things like installing kitchen cabinets, replacing toilets, installing light fixtures, laying floor, painting, electrical etc.

@Benny Gelbendorf The roof and gutters would be around $1000 (fix top few rows of brick on chimney, replace pipe boots, split boot on electric meter mast, new gutters & downs, maybe gutter guards on some areas)The mold I do not know, I would imagine in the $1000 range, but would need an inspection from a mold expert.I am an exterior contractor and my partner is a handyman/general contractor.

Obviously, I am going to authorize an after-hours call to a plumber if there is a leak that results in water accumulating  under the bathroom sink (preventing property damage is a no-brainer); however, if a toilet is clogged, the water heater stopped working, electric power is no longer coming into a section of the house, then I dont want to pay the premium to have the tradesperson come after-hours (I dont feel like paying a premium for the convenience to my renter) when the call can be made the following day or on Monday if the issue occurs on Sunday morning.  

In Atlanta, if the work being completed would normally require permits (Structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC) then the city/county would want you to have the work permitted.

Signing a docusign + creating accts for her with gas, water, electric, takes less a miniscule amount of time in comparison to even opening a HELOC, finding investment properties, etc.

one deal is 4 units building with a nice street, close to a good school, foundation is good and the overall of the house is great, it might need some electric work but that is not really a deal breaker!

Just because you are in a lower income area does not mean you can have heat that doesn't work, plumbing that always clogged and has no water pressure, unsafe electricity, leaky roofs, ect. 

Hello,I have just purchased my first duplex and been going through the place and noticed that the lower unit is paying for communal electricity (Washer/Dryer, outside lights and anything plugged in the basement).
