Can you replace furnace, stove, etc with all electric and save 300 to 400 a month there? 

Quote from @Deandre Brown: When analyzing deals, a few additional factors I like to consider are whether the electric and gas utilities are charged per unit or as a single expense.

Quote from @Dan Zambrano: Hey all,After thinking it over I decided to create a new thread.I am a small time passive real estate investor who has ambitions to expand greatly, first to $20M and perhaps maybe more. i guess I will give a little bit of background on my journey up to now.I am 38 y/o, Electrical Engineer by day, Architectural enthusiast by night.

Quote from @Gary Aragon: Quote from @Rick Albert: Our electricity is already separate and we designed our ADU to be all electric so no gas. 

I would have an engineer analyze first and do the work they recommend.

For sure PG&E requires this for gas and electric, and I think most jurisdictions require it for water and sewer as well. 

It's understandable that unexpected things arise sometimes, especially when you're opening up walls or dealing with older electric or plumbing.

Regarding the electrical issue - we always attempt to troubleshoot with the resident prior to dispatching a vendor. 

Then a Civil Engineer, an Appraiser to determine what having a four unit would be worth, then a loan using the evaluation.

I've had some blue collar ones all the way up to software engineers and everything in between.
