The land has water / electricity hook up but no structure on it. 

So I go toTurn in my permit application and the lady tells me I must use an electrical and a mechanical(HVAC) contractor to install all of the electrical and HVAC.

I don't yet have a plan to reach out to sellers because up until recently Ive been hoping that I would be able to find create deals on the MLS.I know it is possible to do the following and if I feel this is where my time would be better spent then this is what I will look into and start doing:Direct mailOnline AdsRadio AdsPublic eviction recordsPublic Divorce records Out of state ownersWater/electric company's list of off water/electricity housesWholesalers Relationships (ask if they have anything else they would be willing to sale)Driving for dollarsThe free options above are the ones that I would pursue first.

Those two units share a water heater and electricity and gas meter and have Central A/C.

First time buyer in Charlottesville VA and I need a general.contractor to fix the roof , electrical and plumbing etch.

When we purchased the property 5 years ago we were told only the garage was the only electricity bill we were responsible for.Which we didn't have any issues with this for the last five years.Suddenly, our first tenant called the electric company to come out to dispute her electricity bill.Now we wended up with a letter from the electric company that the foreign wiring needs to be transferred to the landlord's account.Now what? 

We negotiated all new electrical to be put in for each unit ($6,000) How did you finance this deal?

He did not find anything major, but noted that there is minor termite damage (which we already knew) and the electrical panel is from a brand that has had noted failures.

We went in to find all the electrical wiring pulled out of the boxes and walls as far as they could.

Just make sure you MEASURE properly and order the correct energy source (gas vs electric) depending on what you currently have.You shouldn't need to change cabinets in order to get stone counters unless something weird is going on like @Hattie Dizmond says.
