As long as the powers that be concentrate on the big guys and I concentrate on covering my butt my life is easy.

We need a general contractor/Handyman with carpentry/plumbing/electrical experience to renovate a 4-plex in the first week of June in Tacoma, WA. 

They might stay longer with the reduced power bill.

Can't hurt to ask.Someone else might chime in with a benefit of one loan, but I feel it gives too much power to the bank.

Maybe an electrical update.

Maybe our PM have bigger projects, maybe some of the investors want him and his team to do renovation so it is a bigger business for him, or maybe this is just the regular procedure, it is our first property and basically we are still learning about all of this, but the facts are that we are paying for the mortgage, electricity,water, somebody needs to cut the grass especially in this period of the year ( we don't even know is the grass cut or not) and so on.So I was trying to find out what is the normal period in which the professional PM is going to find tenants and rent the property?

Since you have the liberty to decide on the layout, consider the best placement for the appliances first and what they need for proper ducting, power, water and gas (if applicable).

What's even more crazy is that it was over a $58 electric bill.

If there is not separate electricity, I'd definitely factor in the cost of splitting that for whatever units don't have it, which may be somewhat high.

I am currently in the process of completing my power team, but am looking for recommendations on locating a Title company that specializes in assignments and double closings and a RE attorney to review my contracts and make sure that they are state specific for Colorado.
