We live in a throwaway society, just clean it, fix it and resell it - one of the easiest things to do in the world.Steve

Hi, I’m in the middle of rehabbing a home and my GC is telling me that just installing the piping and not pulling wires is considered the rough electric.

If I knew what I knew now, I probably would have skipped out on college and jumped right to some kind of trade school as plumbing or electrical.

I didn't even respond as I had this nightmare scenario of her opening an electric or gas account in my name. 

This was by far the smelliest dirtiest grossest house I'd ever seen but it cleaned up beautifully.

The numbers I'm pulling are north of $3000/month which would equate in solid cash on cash, and cash flow with 25% down on $489k property.This home was built in 1925 but very updated across the board from interior, exterior and major things like new roof in 2012, new AC in 2015, and new plumbing / electrical in 2017 - BUT, this was built in 1925 and still at the back of my head.

Last year I had the entire electrical in the home completed.

There is just one electric meter for the house.
