I let the tenants take care of the electric, gas, and lawn & snow care.

@Marian SmithThe way I see it, this bullish market is from 3 main things.1) absurdly low interest rates, inflating buying power.2) printing 20 trillion dollars of funny money in the past 18 months.3) inflation that likely only just begun because of 1 and 2.

Since cabinets, flooring, electrical, plumbing, etc. have to be upgraded anyways, is there a financial payoff for turning the units into 1 bedrooms - e.g. moving the kitchen wall into a bedroom, creating a design that looks and functions better?

Vines are easy to remove unless woody ones- cut back, pull up roots. wire brush the roots, maybe power wash to clean up mortar. 

Many years ago, I was checking out an electrical issue that one of the tenants called in.

With separate meter tenants directly get billed for electricity and gas.

Is he capable of doing small electrical jobs/painting/trim?

Because I have not determined the best way to address an addition or floorplan modification, I suspect my analysis may “double-capture” portions of some budgeted items (plumbing, electrical, etc.) and be way high.Sorry I don’t have actual pics of the interior, but I will post the county’s floorplan sketches.Subject Property Fast Facts:- Not a registered historic home, just very old.- 1890 Construction; brick (original house) & vinyl-sided (1-story addition) - 3Bed/1Bath; 1 bed and bath downstairs, 2 beds and 1 extra community area upstairs- Originally a 3Bed/0Bath.

I have experience doing everything it takes to build / renovate a house other than electrical and plumbing.

However, inflation is constantly eroding the buying power of the dollar.
