Usually an angry electrician who never got paid will take it or have something to do with it at least.

Jesse shares how he formed a partnership with a successful business to become an owner of the company, as well as how he bought a 67-unit hotel off of a tip from his electrician for half of its appraised value!

But some electricians won't.

This past week I've had and appraiser and electricians out to the building to provide quotes, and the final follow up for the exterminators.

But I have to share a time I wasted a whole weekend trying to "save money" since "I know electricity, I don't need no stinkin electrician".

Probably worth having a master electrician check all the electrical including outlets and wiring, as there's a good chance you could be looking at rewiring the whole house if it has aluminum wiring, knob and tube, a fuse box, ungrounded outlets, or any other dangerous outdated stuff.  

I spoke with IBEW reps because I am a member and they are struggling to find enough electricians to man jobs nearby.

When we signed the lease, I said that I would get someone down into the basement to add washer and dryer hookups ASAP to hookup the stackable washer and dryer I bought for the property.After having a plumber, an electrician, and an HVAC guy come down, I got those installed much later than I was hoping.

Second, I recommend hiring an electrician and a plumber to do an inspection in addition to a regular inspector.

Hey Portland BiggerPocket-ers,Does anyone have a good, affordable electrician that they can recommend in the Portland area?
