The GFC unfortunately hit all of us lenders pretty hard and I had a concentration in Jackson and ATL and Memphis so I had to move to Jackson for a year to clean up my portfolio I thought I was going to be there for maybe a few weeks but that turned out to be a year and I got very fortunate I was able to rent the developers house at Reunion .

I did a lot of repairs myself but also hired a few skilled contractors for things like electrical work and plumbing.

Here's what I've learned:Inspections Are Non-Negotiable: Always get a full inspection, but don’t stop there.Plumbing & Sewer: Have the plumbing and sewer systems checked specifically, as these are common problem areas in older homes.Electrical System: If the inspector flags any electrical concerns, bring in an electrician during the inspection phase for a detailed evaluation.

There are exceptions - some properties are set up such that installing a few electric baseboard heaters might be possible to save on the gas bill - but i would still just shy away if not metered separately at the outset.  10) do shop for a lender and compare (usually pretty standard but there can be some fluctuation) - dont fall for the ones that sound too good to be true - there are gimmicks out there - big bank or reputable broker should do you fine.  

Bitcoin Uses More Electricity Than Many Countries.

I expect it to be moderate size rehab which to me means no significant plumbing or electrical and no walls being added or removed.  

Package is clean, nothing fancy and is a little over 20 pages.

If not then we go with a really clean look of fresh beds, and grass that will really pop out. 

Don't forget about paying to start electrical, gas, water and internet services.

I am looking for insights from anyone who has recently upgraded their electric service in Chicago.
