I am confident in estimating roofs, kitchen, existing bath but not sure what it costs to literally take a house back to the studs if I have to go that far.Given the location the lot is probaly worth more than the purchase price but there are strict laws that prohibit demolishing and rebuilding from the ground up.

Any investors have an experience with the area I can shoot ideas off of or anyone have advise for a first timer with a full time job but have the time even while on duty to study and research and make phone calls to make this business successful.

I got into real estate to become  a full time Real Estate Investor.  

I am looking to get a matching pair of kitchen appliances (stove, fridge, dishwasher) for a new rental property and came across them on CL.

I would ask the electrician to verify that the rest of the house is up to code, as replacing the panel may open you up to having to do other stuff as well -- like GFCI in the kitchen/bathrooms, etc. 

Welcome, glad to hear you are doing good as a part timer.

In terms of what I think it needs to rent stronger would be, new interior doors, facelift the kitchens, appliances are good and new interior paint.

You find that out when you go to show the unit when they never asked permission to paint even if it's in the lease.We used a set color, Antique White, Contractors grade Conco brand from Menards. so we can touch up after move outs and never have to think about "what color was on that wall" I use a eggshell finish on everything except kitchen and bath. there I use semigloss.So pick your color and 5 gallon buckets are best cost savings.
