I've got a few properties that would really benefit from updated heating/cooling systems. 1 duplex I have has electric baseboard heat / window AC (Old 1880s property, no crawlspace or basement, no existing ductwork), another I'd like to add central air too, and a 3rd that has old gas wall furnaces / window AC that I would replace with mini splits (again no ductwork). 

Basic, but functional faucet.Appliances ($3,500):Focus on essential replacements.Refrigerator: Energy-efficient model.Range: Standard electric or gas range.Dishwasher: Basic model.Consider deals, scratch-and-dent appliances.Lighting ($1,000):Recessed lighting in the ceiling.Under-cabinet lighting.Basic pendant lights over the island.Paint & Trim ($500):DIY painting.New baseboard.2.

Have a friend neighbor co-worker relative sign a lease for $1 and get electricity in their name?

It doesn’t.Here’s what SC law says you must do—no matter what the lease says:Keep the unit safe, clean, and livable.Maintain HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliances—unless the lease clearly shifts that burden.Provide heat, hot water, and running water (again, unless legally excluded).Maintain common areas in buildings with 4+ units.Want to access the unit?

we removed an exterior door, added 2 windows, complete new kitchen, new existing bathroom, new electrical and climbing, added a mini split AC, and added an eye brow porch in addition to new flooring.  

Focus on Health & Safety First • Electrical hazards, roof leaks, HVAC issues, or plumbing concerns carry more weight than cosmetic items.

And then we have project Starbase in Abilene, TX which will house thousands of these things on 4 million square feet and consume electricity in the gigawatt range, which is enough for 750,000 homes.

(Bad spending habits during college) Only 10k for a down payment which wouldn't get very far most places let alone Hawai’i I have a full time job and a part time that really only bring in a little under 4k a month and planning on getting a better paying job in a month to bring it up to about 4,500 a month (still not a lot) I currently live rent free and have no other debt which is wonderful so saving is my current goal however the spot I live in isn't a permanent arrangement and am expected to move out at the end of the year  my original idea was to try and buy a small live and flip apartment that id do myself for the easy stuff (not electric and plumbing lol) and go from there but because of my location, there's nothing affordable for me and leaves me stumped with my next, technically first step toward ownership  any insight or help on a good first step would be greatly appreciated Aloha  Makani, we have a BiggerPockets Hawaii Fans meetup this Sat, Aug 9th @ 10am HST in Kakaako. 

So I will get a better idea if there's anything structurally wrong as well as the integrity of the electrical systems and plumbing etc that comes with private inspection.

I’m not in a rush—right now I’m just saving up to finish the bathroom renovation and cover six months of rental expenses.In the laundry room, there's a flood drain for the HVAC system, and unfortunately bugs seem to be coming in through it(assuming).
