Arthur, some of the things you will want to look at:- Whether or not the electrical systems and plumbing systems are updated- Is there coin laundry (and if so, is it leased or owned)?

Guess what, if you hire "Handyman Pete" from cashlist.org who can "do it all including electrical work big or small" and Pete's work ain't quite right, well maybe its time to leave the country if there's a fire!!

The wall heater will be removed.10) Cracked window will be replaced11) I don't think there's faulty electrical.  

Account ClosedElectric baseboard heat works the same manner as the electric resistance heat coils in the electric forced air furnaces with which you are acquainted.  

Also they put in a new electrical service and had to lay the brick on one section in order to mount the new panel, so it would be tough to redo that spot or transition to a different siding material.As far as the two fireplaces I might consider eliminating one of them because I agree that the return on investment for both isn't there due to the high cost involved to finish a fireplace.

Did they see if the electric was on?

We're lucky to have an excellent HVAC/electrical/plumbing guy whose who is worth his weight in gold; he's diabetic and I'm giving him freebie nutrition lessons (I'm a registered dietitian in so-called real life) to keep him going!  

Issues I've considered, is how the water or electricity would be metered and if a property like this would even appeal to a family?

Problem is its winterized and no electric service.

I did all the work, from drywall to installing new floors to plumbing and electrical.
