The city inspection sites additional work in order for the sale to occur, ie...electrical work (no ground wires in the living room, bad GFI in kitchen, non code single strand wires to electric panel-this requires a permit,  non code wire splice to ceiling in basement, outlet to code in basement laundry); install gas line to code; fix broken basement storm window. 

Buy an outlet ground tester start to learn what "bad work" looks like.  

If you get a chance to check it out, let me know what you think!

This property sits dead center around many modern homes so I’m trying to help her come up with the best possible outlet so she can receive the most desirable deal possible since she’s willing to sell but not willing to settle because she knows her land has to be worth more that the 3 million the home development company has offered her.

@Trevor Haney No, NF would put me through a consumer loan, individually i can max it to 50k, with a cosigner 100k.In city permits it would come out to about 8k it all varies, on the extras added in the drawing. for example: 15 outlets $75, 1 water heater $72, etc.. all these are number i got from the actual city.

The cost wasn't bad - I had knob & tube removed and some additional electrical work done (added some outlets, added/moved some light switches, added a few wall lights, etc.) and it came out to under 2K (luckily my electrician is very reasonable - $40 an hour).As far as I know they removed all the knob & tube VIA the basement. 

Stuff like wall repair, new floors, outlets, cabinet replacements, etc.

Tomorrow I'll go for a mountain bike ride in the morning before it gets hot, then go fix an outlet.

You will obviously repair things that are non-functional (bad outlet, stove burner is out, or other things missed during your inspections) but any requests for improvements should be denied.Yes, I will occasionally make an upgrade for a tenant but ONLY after they've lived in the home for a year and proven themselves.

@West Wiggins Hi West, thanks for reaching out. Let’s
