This decision increased our budget from $15K to $45K, but it turned out to be a wise investment.The increased budget allowed us to enhance the property's overall value significantly, and we were able to sell it for a much higher price than initially anticipated.

Budget between 300K and 400K.Any areas that have the potential for a good cash flow?

Besides putting together the best SOW using accurate/actual quotes as @Peter Mckernan and @Alan Asriants commented above, another key aspect is tracking expenses (bookkeeping) and monitoring the budget throughout the project. 

Similarly, homes that have unusual layouts or less traditional features often benefit from full staging, as it helps buyers envision how the space can work for them.That said, even in more budget-conscious markets, full-service staging can still provide a significant return on investment, especially if the home has been on the market for a while or if it's empty and lacks warmth.

@Gil CanfuBased on my experience working with over 400 investors, investing in a single-family home in Dallas with a $300K budget is a smart move due to the area's strong rental demand and appreciation potential.

After adding an extra bedroom and bathroom and rehabbing the house, I was well over budget.

By providing the necessary funding and covering renovation expenses, we ensured the project stayed on track and within budget, leading to a profitable outcome.

I think that rehabbing a property is no small feat, especially if you're trying to maximize your budget.

We are able to get great incentives and the ability to own an investment property that take a very light maintenance budget for the first few years is a huge plus.  

My conversion rate was higher because they kind of look like a wedding invite.In regard to lenders, join meetups and local facebook groups and ask for referrals.I’m doing larger commercial deals now and found I wasted a Ton of money on direct mail.
