Carpentry, HVAC, plumbing, Electric?

I would ask the floor refinisher how many floors he has done locally, what electricity requirements are for his equipment (220V), and ask for local references and pictures. 

Sounds like that could go all cosmetic and will have HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roof and maybe foundation that could nail you.

The best properties for this are "cosmetic fixers" where the "bones" are in good shape (structure, plumbing, electric, all the important stuff that is not readily visible unless you look close), yet it is a cosmetic wreck; dated finishes, dirty, smelly, ugly, hideous paint colors, etc.

so we own a 3 story building, it had an old boiler that worked fine, the Tennant had to manually fill the boiler due to no water feeder.Then we had issues with the electrical wiring to the boiler, so I brought in a contractor and I paid him 800 for 2 new electrical boxes in the basement, 575 to fix the boiler and a new pipe that had cracked. 900 for an automatic water feeder, transformer and Lowe water cut off.

He has about 20 years experience and is renovating his own home in Enfield, so he knows the challenges with older homes.You didn't mention electrical, if it's not up to code the whole house will need to be rewired.  

(Two floors, slab foundation)Electric and gas are available.  

To get power turned on the town required an electrical inspection.

If it's commercial I would say go with a white box reconstruction, that way it is an attraction to new tenants who would like to do a buildout, while still being relatively cheap (pretty much demolition, electrical, drywall, drop ceiling, ect.)If it's residential, I would start calling contractors right away to get some estimates of what you need done and try to avoid bringing up the fact that you will be receiving insurance money because then their prices just skyrocket.Let me know how things go!

I have WAY too much energy to settle into the monotony of the 9-5.
