Panel upgrade to 200 amps, new circuits, swap out existing plugs and switches, hang lighting fixtures, and install can lighting. 

Question: how much does it cost to install solar panels on a typical single family house (1800 sq ft)?

Other options (panel board for example) might be a little more durable, but they will probably look strange and will be much harder to repair when the inevitable hole/damage occurs.I'd focus your time and effort on doing quality work on the front end and paying folks who know what they're doing.  

The topic is a panel with 3 established area investors( including myself) talking about how they got started and sharing lessons learned. 

Here are the raw numbers:- Average price for the area is $131,000-Under contract for $82,500-conventional financing with 20% down, 5.8% APR-Average rent is $1100/monthThe property definitely needs some repairs, but we didn't find any red flags in the inspection report (needs some electrical work, but panel is ok, roof is ok, foundation is ok). 

To answer your questions from the previous posts: 1) Yes, same year for improvements as purchase (2022)2) Improvements- floors, drywall (demo'd the old wood paneling), open floor plan, new doors, new paint inside & out, etc3) Yes4) Yes, contracted FYI I will seek professional advice so I am certainly not holding anyone to this.  

And the electric ones take 4 spaces in your panel.

Below, from Mark Lynas' book 6-degrees...so I don't think its "silly" to be trying to contemplate/prepare for these factors, especially if you're doing buy and hold investing that you will be "cashing out" at retirement in 30-50 years from now.In 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a landmark report projecting average global surface temperatures to rise between 1.4 degrees and 5.8 degrees Celsius (roughly 2 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of this century.

This is also a great approach since common area electricity, etc, is still off the main panel See  https://www.powermeterstore.com/category/tenant-submetering

We had a discussion panel about house hacking and I had it professionally taped, waiting for them to send it over to me so I can post it up here on BP.
