Between the Chiefs multiple super bowls (and the Kelce/Swift hype), the 2023 NFL draft, World Cup in 2026, new women's soccer team (KC Current), downtown baseball stadium in the works, Panasonic building a new facility, etc.Kansas City will also give you a lot of bang for your buck too 

@Marcus Auerbach Great write up and very timely as I am preparing to build a small 300-350 sq feet home in my backyard. 

Changed the roof, painted throughout, fenced in the back yard, and furnished it.

We changed the flooring to LVP throughout, painted, added crown molding, installed new lighting and ceiling fans throughout, did light cosmetic upgrades to the bathrooms, fenced in the backyard, removed dead tree from front yard, and re-graveled the driveway.

Vestal was one of our biggest rivals in high school when I played varsity baseball for Horseheads. 

Otherwise I'd read AJ Osborne's book and watch/listen to any info you can get your hands on.Side note, I own 3 in your backyard and looking for more.

My mother is elderly and I'd like to build a one-bedroom ADU for her in my backyard.

Installed LVP flooring throughout, all new appliances, painted, installed crown molding, changed bathroom vanities, fenced in the back yard, installed new ceiling fans and lighting throughout, changed lower kitchen cabinets and countertop, painted upper cabinets, installed two new windows in the house, changed HVAC, and furnished it.

We replaced the roof, changed most of the flooring, painted throughout, fenced in the backyard, and furnished it.

Not with out road bumps either (but I've had the same road bumps investing in my backyard).
