What’s the best way to remodel this that will be the most cost effective?

We’re looking to remodel our small kitchen (about 12 x 12, L-shaped), and convert the garage into 2 bedrooms (not an ADU, no added bathrooms or kitchen, just adding bedrooms to the house).  

Discounts on all Home Depot flooring, cabinets, and appliances - you can save on an entire kitchen remodel!

I personally spent 2 years bringing this cabin from 1970 to 2023 remodeling the entire property.

(not counting on it but just brainstorming)-or should i focus on remodeling everything else except the HVAC? 

The guest became defensive and pointed out that 7 rolls of toilet paper (12 guests over 4 days) was not sufficient (lol) and they had to buy more tp, paper towels, and trash bags.

I just flushed the toilet and it's backing up into the shower (Sewer / Septic).  

Leveraging my strengths with remodels was more valuable for my investing journey. 

So you have to spend a significant amount of upfront money to remodel and often times build a pool.
