@John Olsen I'm in the same boat. I live in an an older house, so I've had plenty of projects to work on. One channel that sticks out to me is "Home RenoVision DIY." Unlike most diy videos, the production value is good and he has tons of videos on learning the basics and more of carpentry, wiring, drywall, plumbing, etc.... What's great, is that he has video series of actual projects start to finish, such as finishing a basement. It's the closest thing to a diy one stop shop youtube channel that I've found.

Hope this helps.

   Appreciate your response, Bryan. I'm working on a lot of what you mentioned. It's still just really early in the process. She passed just a little more than a week ago. Although, you're right, I'll eventually answer my own question through working the process.

I left out an important detail. It's located in northern Kentucky, 10 minutes from the border of Ohio and the city of Cincinnati.

Could use some thoughts on this as my first real estate move and the likelihood of finding investors...

My wife's grandfather tragically lost his sister a few weeks ago and putting her hous, which also happens to be the family home he grew up in. He'd like to sell it to us, but financing that house that old could prove to be a nightmare....

Although, I recently started listening to The Bigger Pockets podcast and discovered the b.r.r.r.r. method for buying properties.

So I dont have any of the official numbers, yet, because this all just happened, but here's the deal so far. It's a single family house, residential area, at least 80 year old, 2 story, 3 bed, 1 and 1/2 bath, with a huge unfinished basement. It appraised 20 years ago for 76,000. As far as I can tell so far, it needs every thing minus most of the roof rehabed.

So here's the big question, granted I get it for around $30,000 and get a contractor and inspector out there to get me the actual rehab cost, would this be great first property to b.r.r.r.r.? Also, do you think investors would be interested in this property if the numbers made sense?
