Both are owned by the same family, who has owned them since they were built in the 1900s.From my realator [buyer agent]: "I DO know that there would HAVE to be new wire from about 6 feet above the electric meter, all the way down into the new location for the panel, and a new panel would HAVE to be put in, even for one circuit to be put in."

If it's Boeing or General Electric and it's a long term contract that will be much different than say having a bookkeeping contract with a local grocery store, the latter would probably not be considered unless you were just shy of meeting the two year mark.Other aspects will weigh on your application as well.

I think drywalling on top of panelling would be cheaper and much fasterwould you know if that electric panel would need replacement ?

@Shawn Thomapproximately 3-4 months, all electric.

I’m a lawyer by trade and before that, an electrical engineer, so therefore have been trained to be risk averse and highly analytical based on numbers.For those wondering, my biggest disadvantages include suffering from “paralysis by analysis” and not really knowing if what I’m thinking of is in line with what’s realistic.

I had to get a "kitchen remodel" permit just to replace the cabinets in my units: no walls moved, no electrical, no plumbing. 

For each of the houses, I put minimum down payments (5% to 20%) and rent from each the existing houses is about $1800/month and slightly exceeds the cost of PITI, utilities, gas, electric, and gardening.

My main helper has three kids, lives in a very modest $30,000 home that's fully paid off, makes about $25,000 a year working for an electrical cable manufacturer.After the second day he was proposing mortgaging his house if I would just go halvsies with him on the $50,000 Mastery program. $25,000 for me wouldn't have been easy, but my wife and I did actually buy another rental for $25,000 cash a few months later.Most incredible thing I ever saw.

Almost everything you touch will go wrong unexpectedly from the pool, AC, electrical, plumping, exterior, etc…I originally budgeted for $27000 in repair and ended up spending $37000.

Of course the water, gas, and electric will all have to be shut off indefinitely until the remodel is complete.I remember one time when I was a kid, my father became angry with me because I locked my bedroom door.
