I'm pretty comfortable doing the rehab myself for the most part, besides certain electrical work and roofing.I'm looking to expand my portfolio as quickly as I can.

When they came back on the grid a couple years later had a credit of about $20 with the electric company and mom could use her hair dryer again.  

The appliances, electrical and plumbing require custom pricing.

So expect that you will have to install an electric box that is rated for supporting a ceiling fan assuming the existing electric box is attached to a joist; if not attached to a joist then you will also need a ceiling fan brace.

My husband and I are about to buy a home that needs major renovations: electrical, all new kitchen & baths, flooring, removing or minimizing a few walls for an open layout and if possible raising a few ceilings. 

Tenants are paying electric and gas only.
