Gain the most ROI in upgrades

[Nathan Fraser]

Good morning BiggerPockets community

I’m looking to purchase my first home but my end goal long term is to have rental properties. I realize that with only a little cash on hand to work with that I may have to buy a single family house, upgrade it and gain some equity just to get myself into the market.

If that's the best strategy for me (open to suggestions) what are the best types of upgrades I can do for the most ROI? From my research so far I gather not all upgrades are considered equal.

Thank you all for your input.
