Here are a few Walmart deals that I found that could be useful$15 - Chefman Rapid Boil 1.2L Electric Tea Kettle - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Chefman-Rapid-Boil-Glass-Kettle-1...We have this kettle and it has been solid for 2 years now.

Custom built closets NO wire closest.. lights in the closets upgraded electrical etc etc.

What I do for my units with shared meters is I charge 50% flat to each tenant which prevents waste I get no issues with any waste due to this but the ones that share electric bills do get many complaints due to the size of the bill.

The main reason/difference between this and the delivery of electrical energy is that the losses of transmission of electrical energy are generally less than 1-2% (that's why we use electrical transmission methods over long distances, generally speaking). 

I am getting a lumpsum estimate for things like electrical, plumbing, but I am not sure what the cost is for. 

They're not connected to the electricity grid and don't have air conditioning or amenities.

You mentioned a career change, I think going into the trades like plumbing and electrical are great and you can make good money doing those, but I think you may be taking on too much by trying to do that right now.

I think flipping is the way to go on this project since it’s my first deal which has always been the plan but very grateful for some guidance. 5 weeks of tear out, wall paper removal 🙃, new electrical, deck supports, HVAC install…we start putting it back together!

Another consideration, @Jay Hinrichs, is whether the electrical infrastructure at the property can handle it. 

You may not occupy your apartment without electric service except during brief interruptions beyond your control.
