If done, in light of all that I guess some will feel much happier when walking though Home Depot parking lot. 

You probably know this already, but you don't want to put yourself in a situation where you are struggling to keep the lights on in the event that you put all of your equity into this home and can't take any out. 

There are many light companies to choose from here.

@Shawn Amersi  Yes Shawn, RDPD really turned the light on for me. 

Yes you will need a permit. 1) you will need to add outlets on each wall as per code...and of course switches for any lights or fans.

Grocapitus is great with marketing light on details. 

Light Cosmetic: $25-$40 per sq. ft.

We do some cosmetic improvements to bring homes to our standard, typically carpet and paint, upgrade lighting etc.

Few lights still to buy and switch covers to put in. 

@Chris Seveney no doubt will be able to pull copies of the filed lawsuits and that should shed some light on this as there should be exhibits that show the actual notes.
