I want electric on to keep A/C running (in FL), and that would be the same reason I would want them on in your case.

I would have to make some improvements before it would be liveable (heat,water,electricity).  

I am also spending time on Zillow getting to know the area.So far I am a little overwhelmed with it all, but am starting to get it figured out. whitle it seems that most people who start are looking to wholesale, I am not sure that is where I would like to spend my time and energy. any suggestions on how to get started with limited cash.

New electrical as well.

Electric is paid for by tenants as well. 

Coin laundry brings in about $20-30 a month or so for the building, but I would probably end up with a bigger water/electric bill with free laundry and I'm not sure about the other tenants but most have kids so they might be pretty receptive too.  

. $4k per bathroom, $10k for the kitchen (including SS used appliances), $1k per window, $3k interior paint, $5k for wood laminate flooring, $7k plumbing update, $4k electrical update, $3k asphalt driveway, $3k furnaceMy guesses are based on rehabs at three properties in the last four years.  

Mainly because of new building code requirements for road, pad, curbs, water, sewer pipping and running electric to each pad.I just got a cost estimate to run sewer. water and electric and pad (8,500) in Floresville, TX to a single mobile not including  road work.

Problems: Mold remediation took 2 weeks longer than expected, bulkhead needed 3k of repairs that were not accounted for, someone stole our metal gangway that connected floating dock with main deck, electricity via temporary pole in the yard because city of jacksonville inspectors would not go into the house with mold inside it. 

Regarding residential work on existing structures, only a licensed Contractor is legally permitted to enter into an agreement with a licensed Subcontractor (save for those who hold trade specific licenses for electrical, plumbing and HVACR).
