So I am wondering if there is a way to find out...let's say...if we started in Cook County --- which cities in that county would be the best to start with.

But I think long beach has upside potential...the rents are pretty good and downtown just got renovated w' shoreline drive (there's an h&m outlet) and they are building more high rises and re-habbing the old office buildings

The labels are generally just stuck to the cover plates and that's what inspectors look for if you pull permits.The GFCIs are fairly expensive, but you only need the GFCI on the first outlet of a circuit.

So that would be one option - Home depot sells cadets that you can hardwire (recommended), but they even sell ones that can plug in to outlets too, so that would be used in the one room.

@Jody Sims,Since you posted this under "Starting out", let me add this caveat:FB is *NOT* for beginners!

Bad switch or outlet, call your electrician.

In those cases we do supply appliances, but at a higher rent.One property that we are getting rent ready now already has both the gas and electric outlets for either range.

After not less than six months, start shopping for business tradelines at vendors like Home Depot, Menards, local lumber yards and hardware outlets, etc.When your entities have about a year of credit history, start looking for business credit cards if you're not already getting stuff in the snail mail about it.Like anything else, getting started is like pushing a train.
