However, we did a 203k rehab and the contractor let us do some of the work and reimbursed us for our work. 

Minor electrical or plumbing is fine.

So Commercial I got, still cost me but since I pay for water and electric I am hoping these newer units will cost less and manager has already told me tenants are much happier with the new units.Appraisal: Just had to meet with them at the SFR and set up the management to let them into the property.
