I also use It's Electric for all electrical work.

If you have separate electric and you run into issues you could possibly put an electric on demand water heater unit on the larger unit.  

E.g. windows, roof, gut, hvac, plumbing, electrical, paint, floors, structural repairs, water heater, etc. 

I typically only do value add deals where I am taking on someone else's mismanaged building, so the up front CapEx can be pretty heavy with the new roofs, tuck pointing, electrical upgrades, window upgrades, etc.

Not sure about Grand Rapids, but quite likely it will be something like the flowchart here: http://paducahky.gov/permits-c...For the 1st inspection, you'd need a structural engineer + MEP (mechanical electrical and plumbing) engineers plans.

We built a gravel road network and installed water main extension and hydrants and above ground electricity.

First, determine if you are going to be replacing any big-ticket items like roof, HVAC, electric, and plumbing.

I found an electric stove top that could be perfect for the basement kitchen; it's an electric two-burner and works with a standard 120v outlet. 

I attempted to work with the seller and see if he would be willing to get the electrical done before closing so we could simply bake the price into the mortgage but he refused, saying at that point he might as well rehab most of the upstairs and sell it on-market for more.

Ceiling height, egress, heat, electrical, etc.....
