That will tell you to move on, or to roll up your sleeves and get excited. 

Could always hire a local handyman to help as well.Stop being afraid to roll up the sleeves and dig in.

I have some things up my sleeve that hopefully will kick off 3rd quarter but maybe a little larger than what you are looking for (100+ units).  

or... move to one of the cities, roll up your sleeves, and start in person.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1171104-the-m...

At the same time, I'm not afraid of rolling up my sleeves and getting dirty.

Menards makes copper repair sleeves that fit over both ends of the pipe you are repairing.

Recently I have come to the conclusion that if I want to get into the rehab and fix and flip specialties of real estate I am going to have to take charge, switch strategies, roll up my sleeves, and get into it.What I don’t have however, is the experience and knowledge.

Anything else up your sleeve?

That was in Oakland. http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/132989-deal-success-story-in-process-cash-flow-in-the-sf-bay-areaThere are very few deals that make tons of cash flow from day 1, but if you're willing to buy a vacant REO and roll up your sleeves (or have a good team, like I do), screen to find good tenants, especially w/ vacant units, you can do fine.

Even if unmodified, the shields/sleeves on the wires have deteriorated with age - or become part of someone's nest - leaving exposed wiring in walls, ceilings and attics ... we had an incident a few years ago where a tenant drove a nail to hang a mirror and shorted out three rooms {new acquisition at the time that has since been rewired}.Additionally, household electrical demands (a few light bulbs, a radio, and {perhaps} an electric icebox and/or range) were far less in the age of K-n-T and installations were not designed to accommodate today's electronic lifestyle.
