He's super thorough, and can tailor his report for investors (ie-  just check foundation, roof, electrical, etc)- or can do a fully written report.

The last two years everyone has complained that during the summer heat, the AC runs the Electric bill up to $350 a month.

It may be used to refer to general contractors, HVAC contractors, electrical contractors, or plumbing contractors.

It makes absolutely no sense to spend $25k on something that's going to cost more to run.The Tesla I would do, the newer $35k model coming out, but only if I had enough PV to make it pencil.It is a real game changer when you don't need any more money and you're choosing where to put your energy coming from that frame of mind.

I prioritize repairs by some basic criteria, starting with issues that need immediate resolution because they either cause continuing damage (leaks) or could result in injury (mold, holes in the floor) or just make working on the property easier (plumbing and electrical systems).  

I need to install Electric baseboard heat in 6 units and install 6 new electric panels and 6 new water heaters.Thanks,Saran

My contractor was able to get a mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and remodeling for around $2K.

Your energy flows, where your focus goes.

Also realized I didn't answer one of your initial questions:  They took my wife and I on a tour of various properties, one just completed duplex and then two homes that were in the process of rehabbing..both were torn down to the studs and we got to see the electrical, plumbing, drywall and rebuild stages.  

Definitely only get one that is separately metered for water/sewer and electric/gas.Renting a SFH is expensive but is preferred by larger families (2+ kids).
