What I've learned is you can't do everything yourself so build a team of professionals (handyman, plumber, lender, real estate agent, electricians, etc.).  

My electrician should be done by Wen. and I can finally start spending the night.  

I only accept bids from my subs which include full turnkey work for their trade/portion to prevent just that, and prevent that I get a call that oops, the electrician forgot to include 50' of service wire, so I need to run to hd out of my own pocket, and then find a 49' piece rolled up on-site that he'll take with since it was too short anyway.

HelloI'm Alex I am a former Marine and now Electrician.

Here is a part of the letter, I sent to the seller:The home inspection was completed on September 29th (please see attached) and the following issues were pointed out: 1.The wooden floor frame in the middle unit is deteriorating due to either prior water leak in the bathroom or due to moisture infiltration through the walls and foundation.2.There is evidence of significant settlement under the middle unit bathroom and north closet.3.The settlement of the floor and walls has also resulted in settlement of the roof frame above this area, ceiling shows cracks.4.There is an obvious depression on the roof – water is ponding on the roof above the middle unit, which adds excessive weight on the roof and potential for leaks.5.Asbestos containing material has been found.6.The current bedroom heat installations in the north and south units pose a safety hazard from carbon monoxide, fire and oxygen depletion.7.An electrician performing upgrades did not use ‘arc fault breakers’ in the north and south unit breaker panels, which is required by the national electrical code.8.Upgrades to the electrical system, promised by a real estate agent, have not been completed yet.

$8k was to have a licensed electrician complete the project.

A licensed electrician will have to run the GFCI / 220V connections to the new area as well.There are also some other sections of the house that are no doubt attracting water intrusion.  

I am an electrician by trade and own a 1916 home myself so the commonly frightening buzzwords such as "knob and tube", "plaster walls", and "asbestos tiles" don't carry quite the same weight with me but it will be nice to have someone who is as objective as possible.If you feel comfortable answering, could you share what you budget for repairs on these older properties?

I am wrapping up my flip and was wondering what type of payment documentation I will need for both legal and tax protection.The project involved a GC, electrician, plumber, and granite vendor.Do I need to get waivers from all these guys?

Plus I had to jump in and spend a few days/nights in the trenches when plumbers and electricians had broke truck syndrome.
