 Cool man that would be awesome I’ll connect with you

 I think that’s a good idea with the oven, try to have it match the microwave too if you’re going to instal one. 
and for colors like I said maybe see what people are liking and what is being done in your area. The most recent project I did was in a more rural area and so I chose a nice looking green cabinet color with black countertops. I’ll message you a picture so you can see how that looks.

Yep 2/5! A great way to start out(or when experienced) to get conventional financing on turn key(little down), house hack, then get a major tax break when you sell.

That's a great idea but turning this into an L style kitchen. However... it would be costly and debatably worth it. You're talking a new corner cabinet plus cabinet fillers on both sides of oven, then do you just leave the fridge exposed on the end? You'd probably want to go ahead and put a partition or pantry on that side.

Not to mention getting outlets to that wall(doesn't look like it has any), for an electric range and fridge.

I'd keep the layout the way it is! Plus that open cabinet concept only works for very neat people with good looking dishes, may not be good for rental?

 Another thought Asha is the rolling islands you can buy at your box store to add some countertop space for cheap. Match your cabinet color to it and you have a more user-friendly kitchen. May not increase your income by much like you said, but could decrease your vacancy % and look nicer in pictures. Looks like you have the room for it. 

What are you thinking of doing to the kitchen? Any way you could meet in the middle and to a light remodel? Maybe just refinish the cabinets, and go with a new countertop and updated appliances. Look at some local trends for colors, or what the building next door is doing, and give the people what they want without breaking the bank. Doesn't look like it needs much.

P.S Something I also like that is pretty good bang for your buck is installing an over-the-range microwave. It frees up countertop space, looks good, and can vent right out through your hood fan ducts. 

Best of luck!

@Jason Bott Thanks Jason

Hello everybody I’m looking for home insurance for a flip property near Cleveland. 

It’s a single family, it’s vacant, is a rehab, and I’ll need coverage for about 2 months. Thanks for any recommendations!!
