Electricians, Plumbers and Elevator repair all require apprenticeship. 

As an introvert, I've learned to prepare my elevator pitch ahead of time.

The stats are: -5 stories totaling 20,000 square feet above ground, plus a full basement which is partial commercial space and partial tenant storage/utilities-First floor commercial space is around 2300 square feet with an additional 1500 in the basement, 12' ceilings in the first floor-14 residential units above, most have private balconies or decks, elevator, bike storage, mail room.

Also check to see if theirs a elevation certificate if not get one.

I’ll see about determining the elevation of the house.  

You may want to stay at the lower elevations (such as the Grand Junction - Montrose corridor) due to average temps and growing seasons.

Does the elevated crime rates of a particular suburb truly reflect rental sentiment for example. 

See here:  http://www.qpublic.net/la/orleans/est.phpInsurance is also higher in Orleans Parish, and the flood zone and elevation of the property make a big difference in the cost of the flood insurance.I've got a couple great insurance providers I can recommend.

We have an apartment building with one elevator that's going to be down for 6 weeks early next year for modernization.

That means elevating the entire structure for parking under ($$$).
