If you buy one, though, make sure to take off the top and check it out before you take it home--being natural, the veining patterns vary considerably from box to box! 

Have a lock box on vacant units so you can give them the code to enter the unit.

Search the BP box for "wholesaling, free marketing, motivated sellers" etc

If not, you will need to install a USPS approved key box, or an electronic switch that is guarded by a USPS approved lock.2.

Insurance companies have all but eliminated you finding a house with knob and tube, aluminum wire or fuse boxes so they should already be done.

LOLThey can't deposit funds in an insured institution, they have cash sitting in boxes in storage!

I am looking to purchase a four-plex, of which two of the units are running on the same power box, so the current landlord is paying their utilities.

Assuming the plumbing is fully charged, and the home has been inhabited recently, you can use the moisture meter to probe around areas that are common to damage: plumbing walls, cabinet toe kicks and bases, kitchen and bathroom floors, shower or tub surrounds, below the washer drain box, etc.

Even if the incentive is a box of chocolates!

I called Com-Ed and they tell me making the appointment for power install (box, meter, etc.) is 3-5 weeks!!!
