And....I wouldn't waste time or energy chasing the appropriated rent either.Btw...

My biggest question at this point has to do with how and when to get gas, water, and electricity turned on.  

So it's a mess to understand.I can say the biggest killer to watch out for is electricity circuits being shared between units.

My gut says you'll spend a lot of time and energy agonizing over this trying to make it work and have it end up either 1.) going nowhere, or 2.) end up as a bad deal.

Electrical on 1, and Plumbing on the other.

I'm closing on a property in a few weeks where the landlord pays electric and bills back to the tenants.  

He hires out the foundation, framing, siding, roofing, electrical and painting.He and his buddy do all/most of the carpentry and plumbing inside.

He confirmed what I thought that it needed a new roof and some electrical work done.  

It is a cash offer, so there would be no time or energy spent with a bank by the realtor.  

I am working on my first flip. and I need a licensed electrician to come to my house and inspect electrical and see if there needs to be anything else done to bring it up to code and validate the electrical permit i bought. and get a green tag from the city. so that I can move forward with my drywall and flooring. i have learned so much more by taking action than i learned from shadowing the investors that bought my wholesale deals in the past. does anyone know an electrician or can u advise a way to go about getting one.
