However, “substantially remodel” has a specific meaning, which is the replacement or substantial modification of any structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical system that requires a permit, or the abatement of hazardous material, including lead, mold or asbestos that cannot be reasonably accomplished in a safe manner with the tenant in the unit and that requires the tenant to vacate for more than thirty days.

All of this, just to get the house ready for inspection; and then there are still a handful of unknowns that could kill the deal during inspection.On one hand, it seems crazy to invest that much time/energy/money into a property just to get it ready for inspection.On the other, it seems like a silly variable to potentially kill the deal- I've gotten seller down on the price quite a bit and I do feel pretty excited about the property from what I know about it so far, but the projected rehab budget is already stacking up and I'd like to have as much info as I can possibly get regarding other potential rehab costs. 

I've used and trust Kirby Electric so worth giving them a call if you're still working on this project.

To reiterate your point about dragging contractors around; I am one and can tell you it can be an annoyance when people look for estimates for free because it takes a lot of time and energy to develop a good one.

With the SDCs, increase in labor costs, increase in material costs, energy code changes, land-use changes, existing buildings are a BARGIN.  

I am almost finished with a complete remodel (electric, hvac, everything) for a rental property.

Hi guys,I am interested in the EV charging station investment under the light of Electric Vehicle amount will be growing faster in the near future.

The electric co is the same way.

Congrats to you, and I'm sending energy for your continued success!

But I'm getting the vibe that he embellished his investor experience, because I'm having to spend more time, energy...and MONEY explaining what I'm trying to do, then him actually do anything for me.
