Wow this question is so vague I have no idea how to give specifics...On a 10' x 10' room (similar to your standard bedroom) I can remove everything down to the studs in one day.1/2- 3/4 day to rewire (simple cosmetic such as changing the number or location of outlets if you're actually changing the wires itself up to higher codes it can be 3+ days depending on how the house is wired and accessibility)1/2-1 day to insulate1/4 day for any windows or doors that would need replacing for the 1 room2 days for drywall (so long as the studs are straight and level)25 hours of taping (+/- 5 hours depending on the number of corners/edges) spread over 7 days usually front loaded 3-4 hours the first 2 days, then 2-3 hours for the remaining 5 days.2 days painting; 2-3 coatsflooring will depend on the product you're using but unless it's hardwood or laminate you can usually get it done 1 day.1 day trim and molding1 day clean and finishing touches.One thing that shouldn't be overlooked is the time it takes to purchase the materials and get them to the job site.Another is where you can actually do the work.

Does the MLS give you access to properties only in the state where the real estate agent operates or is it nationwide?

Also, do you have enough money stored aside right now, or at least have access to loan funds post-closing for any updates or repairs?

I’m using iOS app to access BP forums and see a couple of issues.

At first I was being friendly and inquisitive, but not that I've done some research online, I am very upset.

they can spend a hundred bucks and on line  get a quack Dr. from the other side of the country to give an ESA paper . 

In PA you can go online.

I also try to get the tax assessment map or zoning map, and use it to mark where rentals are higher, and lower; not all counties will have it up online.   

Some are live, others are online. 

Without direct access to MLS I would use Redfin.
