The contract specifically laid out ~$8k in electrical and plumbing work.Upon moving in I found multiple wiring issues, such as the built-in microwave, kitchen count circuit, and dishwasher all wired to the same breaker so it blew all the time. 

Including probably 10 frames due to rotnew vinyl siding for the entire building2 kitchens  with new wiring for range microwave dishwasher and refrigerator.2 basic bathrooms. no tile Not sure what type of flooring i should do...

(could not post web site remove the DOT)It’s a 4-pack stainless steel set (fridge, over-range microwave, electric range, dishwasher). us-applianceDOTcom has had this same set for at least three months at $1699 (plus tax for my delivery but free shipping).

Regretted going with formica but added white subway tile backsplash & vinyl flooring ($200), scratch & dent fridge ($350), stove ($275), (very dented but repairable) over stove microwave $25 & a dishwasher $125.

I was able to quickly pickup (from Craigslist or Facebook marketplace) slightly used Microwave, Dishwasher, and other items for a 1/4 of the cost new! 

I have contacts for almost everything BUT the kitchen, which would include ripping out and replacing cabinets, Wich can accommodate a microwave, stove/range and dishwasher - I know pretty basic stuff right?

I purchased a 3 flat with in unit washer and dryer and dishwasher and over-range microwaves.

As foR repairs - my fridges and microwave have issues more than my W/Ds and for fridges it is usually broken handles (rolls eyes) I guess it all depends on what kind of tenant you want and how mich you charge. 

You can have a small sink, an under counter refrigerator, microwave and even washer/dryer in a basement unit but once you add a normal size kitchen sink, refrigerator and stove/oven is when it becomes illegal.

I have seen some fha appraisers in the Chicago burbs require you to “remove functionality” on the basement unit ie remove stove and microwave cap off electric/ gas and make it look permanent.
