A year ago I recently purchased my first multi family to house hack and I rant into a issue when the seller paid for a electrical upgrade to the home.

The issue there is the current prices and CA laws - for the past year I've been struggling to find a property that's somewhat turnkey and that would at least break even...

With this scenario we both have skin in the game: His work and my materials.

We also require that we be added to the contractor's insurance as Additionally Insured, so we're covered if they cause damage or liability issue.3) If the property is occupied:- One of our people MUST accompany their person (and we charge for this). --- We were sued many years ago, along with the owner, because tenant claimed owner's contractor sexually assaulted them!

If you currently rent for $2,500 and take the $1,750; you have additional positive cash flow of $750 for your rent situation.Have you thoroughly looked over the capex potential issues? 

It's definitely one of those issues that is very specific, and would need to be worked out with Planning.

However, for major issues, STR insurance ensures you're fully covered.

We have become good at it, by simply issue a 3 day letter to pay rent or quit.

I would suggest doing these separately however since you will run into issues with a partial release clause on a blanket loan.

I am also have issues with this construction group....
