Do you have any guidelines you might suggest when sizing an electric panel?

I did an entire house, 3/1, 1,000 sq/ft down to the studs on the inside, insulated the walls, new electric panel, drywall, new windows, landscape, flooring, everything new except roof and hot water heater and it was just over $50K.

Tanner;Google "Federal Pacific breaker panels" and "Aluminum wiring copper pigtail".Familiarity with these two terms is critical when researching Cincinnati multi-family. 

This is the "Siding looks good but roof probably needs replacing" and "Some knob and tube but newer panel" and that kind of stuff.3) LOTS of pictures.

I bought a duplex with separate meters, and the panels were side by side.

The panel is only around $2k worth, I wouldn't count it.

As far as STR's: I recently went to an agent-only panel held by my brokerage with representatives from our Metro Codes office and I will say that at the moment STR's are being pushed out of residential neighborhoods by the hotel industry.

The other night, she twice lost her homework due to power flickers because B's boyfriend was messing with the electric panel so he could install hardware to grow weed in the closet.As a result, "A" is giving an ultimatum- either boyfriend leaves, or she does.

The box sits on the wall, the wires run through the wall, if a tenant starts worrying about radiation from the electrical panel I would tell them they might want to think about finding another place to live. 

It can work out and save you some money on some things but cost you money on others.People will sometimes go when a breaker goes bad and put in a cheaper breaker that is not correct for the panel.
