Hey @Jake Navarra, obviously depends on the condition and resale value of the property, but I focus about 80% of my money and time on:
1. Kitchen
2. Baths
3. Curb appeal (landscaping, entryway, etc.)
4. Flooring
5. Structural improvements (opening up entry-ways, increasing bathrooms size, etc.)
This strategy works for me, but I have a construction background, so I know what improvements are possible and what improvements I will make before making an offer, and I'm able to either do the work myself or keep a knowing eye on any contractors who might try to cut corners. As always, if it's not done right, you'll wind up paying for it in the end.
