You can try to research to make sure the utilities are there for sewer, water, electric, etc. 

I got an address for it, cleared some land and hooked up electric.

I'm giving myself 10 years to be successful at this.Turn key properties are best for me right now, as I'm a provider in a clinic and work 3 nights a week in an ER, so my time/energy is limited.Thank you all for any tips, advise or otherwise!

An electric dryer will run up the bill of that unit quickly , where a washing machine wont nearly as much . 

I went to a public hearing on a red card that the town fabricated because a structural inspector decided to do an electrical inspection early.

Doing DIY on plumbing, electrical, or structural.

But I'm confused/curious as to why this Electrical Contr is so willing to burn bridges over couple of grand, is he just stupid?

A good HI will go over your house with a fine-toothed comb.If you can find an Ex (or Retired) HI that is also Certified, that would be even better, since they will understand the structure/electrical/plumbing systems in more detail than a regular HI...

If you are doing a BRRRR and leaving older items in place, not updating electrical and plumbing, I think you need $300 t0 $350 if you are just getting started.
