While it’s easy for the tenant to get electric and gas switched over to themselves, many cities either won’t allow tenants to switch water/sewer, or worse - let them switch it and then hold the owner liable for any unpaid bills.

@Jordan Lucas my suggestion is go into the trades either plumbing or electrical and get your masters license.

Installatiion  included install of the fixture, venting through the roof, running electrical, touchup sheet rock and paint, new trim, and installation of the stack on the roof.

Many of them are knowledgeable and/or ex contractors themselves.For help finding reliable contractors, go to your largest plumbing and electrical supply house (not Home Depot or Lowes) and speak to the counter person. 

Purchase price: $340,000 Cash invested: $86,000 Sale price: $565,000 we gutted the full house. entire plumbing, new electricity new windows all around What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

My wife took 500 hours of education to be a massage therapist in Colorado but it only took 50 hours to become a REALTOR.

Unless it's already been rehabbed by a previous owner, the electrical is most probably going to be old and out of code. 

New roof, paint, flooring, doors, updated electrical panel, fixed plumbing, new blinds, new light fixtures, drywall repair, landscaping, final cleanWhat was the outcome?

Leaks had been fixed with duct tape leading to entire beams needing replaced, electrical solutions were sketchy, and the kitchens and baths needed a complete gut job. 

If you did not know the City will have the Electric company remove your electric meters and put locks on natural gas meters after a fire.
