Electric and plumbing are updated with no issues.

Does you method provide the applicant protection? 

Hello,I've been looking for creative methods to utilize the funds in my Self directed IRA to purchase Real Estate.

It just needs to be "made safe" using the right method for that component.

I actually work in a university maintenance organization so I have access to guys who are licensed in HVAC, plumbing, elect, etc and the HVAC guy recommended to match everything up. 

Is there any advice or method that can be given to make me become a better student to the game of real estate before I attend school?

So working through the best method for my situation.  

I understand if things unforseen come about, but he had his own guys check the plumbing and electricity and said his number was on the high side to be safe, and he was confident he could come in less.To be fair, his craftmanship was excellent and the finished product has been pleasing.

The analysis is beyond the scope of this post, but if you email or contact me directly I can do one for you and let you know if it works.The other widely used method to determine if your paying too much or not is to use the comparable approach and find the average price per unit value for that market and submarket.
