There are many many variables in a price per square foot and it's best to know in great detail what you want/need so your contractor(s) can give you a more accurate estimate.

@Raymond Hill The hardest part of being a first-time investor is knowing what to put for variables such as vacancy, maintenance, capex, utilities.

If you’re the realtor and writing the 20 or 100 offers yourself, pulling your own comps, doing all of the legwork, etc. then you remove that variable/obstacle.But, overall, I’d second what most people are saying.

@Brandon Miller there are too many variables at work to answer such a short question.

Qualify today and enjoy: Introductory rate of 1.90% APR for the first 6 monthsVariable rates as low as 4.00% APR after the introductory periodBorrow up to 95% of your home’s valueInterest-only payments during the draw period (minimum of $10,000)Credit Lines $10,000 - $350,000*Upon expiration of the introductory rate, all balances will accrue interest at the variable APR (Annual Percentage Rate) in effect for your account.

But truly consider what you'd buy next if you sell, potential heloc usage, appreciation, and cash flow if you keep it, and all of the other variables.

Well, there are a few different ways to do this, with each way being a better fit depending on multiple variables such as risk tolerance, available time to run a project, the interest in running the project, and emotional grit.

@Dalton Dyer given your variables (specifically the low to no capital),  I would suggest you stay focused on Atchison / Leavenworth markets. 

I didn't include the variable costs like vacancies, but hoping it will be minimum given it's an area on demand.Looking forward to your thoughts.Rafiq
