Pulled permits so had to follow their code interpretation, so no upstream GFI's to keep open ground circuits in play.I had to upgrade the panel as well, but at least they let me do all the work.  

I'll be moderating a panel at DME - "Underwriting Borrowers and Creating Marketable Loans" and hosting two networking sessions.

It comes off the electrical panel. 

Also because the walls are kind of like old-fashioned wood panels that you can’t find today the contractor suggested you could put a moulding like a baseboard to cover up the 4 inch that was cut off.

What is your experience with solar panels and how the bank handles them?

Look for FPE panels (dated equipment that can cause fires), also look for bare wire, mismatched breakers, older outlets and fixtures, knob and tube, etc.8.

@Patrick BrittonThe answer is: it depends.Electrical: If each unit has its own {sub}panel coming off the main and the unit is wired to that sub-panel, then moving the panels onto separate entrances is quite simple.  

Once unit is vacated, for good measure you can look for window and door gaps within the panels and frames and fill in those gaps accordingly with caulk/silicone or a gap filler.

I would consider a large glass panel poolhouse setup over a garage door.

It is also true that most investors don’t maintain or fully fund reserves for their properties (roofs/siding/plumbing/garage doors/electrical panels).
