Hello,I need to purchase a new personal residence in a new area and while none of the houses are to my exact liking, there are a number of houses which check a few of the boxes.Therefore, I plan to purchase one of them and then hire some contractors to check the boxes that it doesn't have on day 1.Accordingly, I'm trying to get a sense of what is most vs least costly to change on a home (I've been an investor for years but just buy and holds with maintenance work, not flipping).I'm thinking it goes like this (from most expensive to least), but please advise if I'm wrong somewhere.
