Common Mistakes/ Beginner (Fix and Flip)
Hello,
My wife and I, are attempting to purchase our first property. We plan on living in the house and doing most of the fixes and renovations ourselves. Just have a few questions before we get to deep into the process:
What are some common mistakes that can easily be avoided? What are the best areas of a single family house to renovate that will have the greatest improvement to home value? and any other advise would be great.

Quote from @Landon Sheveland:
Curb appeal to attract attention, then kitchens and bathrooms are usually the most important areas to focus on.
