New paint, new carpet, new laminate, pressure washing, landscaping, window repairs, fixture updates, sprayed for pests and did electrical repairs.

But there's not a lot of photos on the property and the ones showing only mainly shows the exterior (and the exterior alone kinda tells me this house needs quite a bit of TLC, tall grass, dark and dated windows, discolored roof, etc.) i ran the numbers and i can actually average around 200 a month on this SFH, but im worried that i won't have enough cash on reserve for REHAB if the rehab alone is going to costs me almost as much as the property itself.

Which might also give you a window to inspect/improve the electrical and framing of the property.

We are going to install more windows and replace all existing windows.

Here is what I would expect your turns to look like with units that rent for $650 / month in MKE:  You will be repainting the entire unit, fixing broken cabinet doors, holes in a couple of the doors, the oven will look like it's never been cleaned (because it hasn't), things you didn't think could get all that dirty like baseboards, windows & exterior doors will need a lot of TLC to get clean, there will be at least one truckload of stuff left behind and any carpet in the unit will be needing replacement.Sometimes I recognize my posts come off a bit negative nancy, and by no means do I want to create a blanket argument that this is always the case with a $650 rental. 

The wind mitigation report looks at the type of glass in windows and doors, hurricane straps on the trusses, number of nails in the roof sheathing and so forth.

It seems simple enough to get a yes or no answer about.If the two exits are required, I'm wondering if a fire escape can be built in the front windows since there's nothing there.Before I make a decision and go chasing quotes from 50 companies, I'm wondering if anyone here has an estimated cost they'd be willing to share based on similar experiences?

It’s still a pretty big property, and a bigger property would be more expensive to maintain anyway (roof, siding, flooring, windows etc. more expensive to replace, higher utilities, etc.), so you could look at it that way!

My very first house had a tenant from the south (this is WI) and they turned the heat up to about 80, which in-turn made all the wood windows I had just redone mold up to the point I needed to replace them - lol.
