There have been some very good spreadsheets posted on here in the past that you can search for and find.A spreadsheet is going to be much easier to use and play with different numbers than an app.

@Cloey Green there are so many different ways to think about and evaluate markets.

I worked in different fields for decades, was a stay at home mom, then activated my real estate license (it was inactive for 15 years and I stayed up on my continuing education). 

I'm struggling to find accurate info on pricing at different seasons of the year. 

Get with a few contractors and have them different quotes and how they will perform the work.

I might have a biased opinion, a lot of those we've worked with though would say good things haha feel free to reach out if you have any questions on those differences or what that might look like for you.

Like there are so many different routes you can take I understand that but I would like to know more about the brrr method and things in general as far as getting started.

I have been looking for properties in different cities that would not be a house hack, seeing that we are landlocked where we are at for now.

Another lever you can pull is marketing the units in a different way if you havent explore getting professional photos done or styling the unit further with a professional decorator.

Since there are technically 2 cities called Kansas City and they are located in different states (with different laws and building codes), it's very important to distinguish between the two, local referred to as KCMO and KCK.So, a long way to ask, are you interested in real estate in KCMO or KCK to start?
