Multiple improvements done on this duplex in 2021, including new roof, gutters, flooring, drywall, electrical, appliances, and heating/cooling unit for the second floor.

Let’s start with a few notable facts:26% of all renters in Worcester and 17% of residents citywide don’t own or have access to a private automobile.In downtown Worcester, 41% of renters and 38% of all residents don't have access to a private vehicle.Buses in Worcester became fare-free in 2020 and are currently slated to remain that way through June 2025.It's challenging to charge an electric car if you live on the third floor of a triple-decker and don’t have access to a driveway.Do people choose not to have cars?

Can we add an electric range or is that illegal (which is what I hear)?

There are things I know I will never look at doing myself: plumbing, electrical, roofing, installing hardwood flooring, bathroom remodel, and I'm sure many more! 

We hired Bildwise for a renovation of our 1965 single-family home that included complete electrical rewiring and updating, roof replacement, light kitchen and bathroom remodeling, new flooring, new interior paint, and masonry repair.

Electricity bill increases to 5%?

With my background as an electrical contractor, flipping seems like a natural choice, however, I'm also interested in BRRRR as I'd like to hold some properties and rent them out.

(Where I rent properties, the city has a law that a property can be condemned if people are living in it without water and electricity.) 

The basics of course, but there is an air fryer, crockpot, 2 level steamer, wok, electric griddle, and the list goes on.

Electric and plumbing was modernized but there are still some galvanized pipes that have issues.
