How do I prioritize upgrades?

Rank ROI on value-add vs cost; kitchens and baths often lead, but local comps should drive decisions.

What is over-improvement risk?

Spending above what the neighborhood supports can raise ARV less than cost — the tool flags when ROI looks thin.

Should I trust contractor bids in the model?

Use bids to calibrate costs, then add contingency; the analyzer is only as good as your scope and pricing inputs.

How does this relate to flips?

Renovation ROI ranks spend efficiency; pair with the flip analyzer when the exit is resale rather than hold.
