If your "gut" is to be extensive enough to need to remove the electrical entrance for an extended period, you can have the entrance moved to a temporary mast on the property ... perhaps even with an panel (may need to be sheltered to comply with local code) to provide electricity on-site.The other alternatives are to 'pay a neighbour' to be able to run a few extension cords from their property or use a generator.

-With each acquisition - either the purchase could come directly out of the capital amount above until those funds were spent, or -as a hopeful alternative- the equity if determined to be present would be adjusted based on the acquisition valuation to adjust that figure.

Ok, I'll take the alternate approach.
