I agree with @Jonathan Greene on this. When it comes to electrical, I don't want to run the risk of shotty work and causing a fire.

I store some funds in a HYSA as well as lower risk investments. I have a separate account for my real estate properties and keep a base amount there. Is this the best strategy? Not sure but it works for me.

I would recommend speaking with @Denver McClure. He has helped me with some creative financing and outside of the box strategies in the past.

This question is most likely best for a lawyer familiar with local regulations and code. I would speak with them prior to buying anything if it was me.
