I know I'm getting here a little late butt I had to give my 2cents, I've been building homes and commercial for 40 years when it comes to any electrical work you should only do biz with a licensed and insured electrician state laws require it for the simple reason fire safety.You have to have someone who can be held accountable in a case of poor wiring if an outlet pops when a tenant goes to plug in a lamp or a breaker box is hot to the touch you get my drift right?

Thanks Mark, yes it does I'm looking to find a way to get plugged in to a local group or community and start growing in wisdom, experience and most importantly my business.Thanks again

Hopefully 15 more years of working my butt off flipping will position me to enjoy significant cash flow while I work on my golf game, somewhere well south of Boston.

I will keep plugging away and see if we can come to mutually beneficial compromise.Thank you for taking your time to respond, it is greatly appreciated.

I have moved my target zone (for now) up toward Evanston where I can stay plugged into the CTA system but get to where prices are a little more affordable for starting out.  

I could get my butt sued if I don't provide snow removal...Landscaping would run $40 per month, we mow 7-8 months out of the year here in MOIt would be my only duplex or rental property (I do have a house but plan on lease-optioning that and give the tenant the maintenance responsibilities) so I plan on doing my own management, but figure in $100 (5% for management) and another $160 (8% of $2,000 income) for Capex. 

@Steve Bach  a phone call to your state banking commission to ask your questions BP is not the place to get this info its your butt on the line and BP is all hearsay when it comes to t to laws of the land

While I am no computer programmer, (I'm the guy who calls support and they ask if it's plugged in...

I'm sorry I waited so long to "plug in".

I was plugging in anywhere from $2000-$4000 depending on the cost of the property I was looking at until I met with a banker and he told me they had fixed closing costs of $995.
