Overall, I am looking at: new roof, new drywall in about 50-70% of the project, insulation of attic, and external walls, new electric (with 4 new meters and wiring and outlets throughout), new plumbing, new hvac systems ( most likely ductless mini splits), new windows, redone flooring (stripping an d finishing oak floors), new kitchens, and new baths.

Also know that a property manager won't insulate you from these tenants.

Insulation?  

What about bringing all electrical, plumbing and insulation/energy up to code?

Now, I haven't checked, but I think you can get a boat load of coverage, if they offer it, for $1400.AND, if you put your safe assets onto a FLP, you got that insulated as well.Good luck ya'll.

A shed , my string mower push mower and weedeater and riding mower evaporated in thin air The property also had a new well with two pumps in a nice lil heated insulated shed And a double carport I guess the tornado (them) that destroyed the mobile carried off well house and carportOf course they said they wouldn't do us that way it had to of been someone else And all the trash on back bank of pond wasn't from them.......oh I forgot to mention a bit of a kitchen fire and I guess before the two 4ft outside hydrants and hoses evaporated they put the fire out with one of them Water makes your garden plants swell and grow If you water MH floors enough they do toWe sold that lil jewel with land at a wonderful loss and when I drive by it it disgusts me The bright side is now there are several crappy MH's and lots and lots of junk the guy who bought it was helping his grandson a doper Well I should have learned several lessonsI ain't related to anyone and I am not in the business to help you outHope you enjoyed this

The house is a 2 unit home and is large, other than the home needing some upgrades the deal breaker was that the siding is very old and the entire home has NO insulation.

Rose, also get Mid America to perform an Energy Audit so your insulation, windows, and appliances earn you some cash back, too!!!

If the dwelling has been damaged and needs repairs that most of the buildings seem like they need.. sheetrock, flooring,insulation, wiring,  due from water damage,, which was contaminated water.. they need to also comply and give tenants notice to vacate or be fined if they don't comply.. 

For example, if you remove say the plaster walls and want to put sheetrock the city might have you insulate all the exterior walls.
