Judging from nearby listings and sales, it looks like you might be able to get $155k-165k with a full rehab.

I'd say your first step is to identify an area that you think is good to invest in, and then start exploring some of the different companies nearby and see how each one runs, what they offer, and of course, how much they charge.Best of luck, and feel free to message me if you have any questions!

You could look at other nearby rentals and average the rent/sqft of these listings then multiply this number by the number of square feet of your home to get another estimate.

I've been to Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the other cities nearby at Arizona and you are definitely right that it is much cheaper over there.
