@Michael Henry Ah I see, gotcha. What would you upgrade to get the most out of the bathroom, floor, sink and bathtub?

That makes sense on the cabinets depending on the area

@Michael Henry makes sense, thats along the lines of what i was thinking. I thought kitchen and paint as the biggest 2, but I could see the bathroom as well.

would you usually use better quality material or base that off of the area and what you are trying to get out of it? For example using laminate or so for a cheaper house that you aren't expecting as much of a return vs tile in a more expensive property?

What are some of the firsr things you look for before you try to acquire a property that you can change to add value?

How much value would you expect to add by improving different ares?

@Cordell Martin @Cordell Martin Gotcha, good idea on the certified funds. Those make sense, i feel like that's something that would get better over time too.

Alright, I'll have to work on that. Thats a good idea, i didn't think of keeping a record of all the appliances

@Snehann Kapnadak thanks for the info, is there a way to save a post for later to go back to it? I'm looking around the KC area as well and this is very helpful

@Stefanie Capriola Awesome congrats! Did you guys use that BRRRR method, or how did you guys start out? What kind of neighborhood or what price range did you guys find easiest to start out?

@Kiera Underwood how much time every day or week would you say to dedicate to it? Sounds like a good idea

@Rodney Robinson thats pretty much what I'm hoping for, ideally I would like to test it out and get my feet wet, but I figure I'll probably have to just jump into it.
