Anyone have an idea of cost to finish a basement? Specially, approx 1,500 sq ft home located on Long Island, NY. There is a current egress but needs to be updated. Would like to add laundry room, bathroom, bedroom, and living area/gym. I understand there are a ton of variables.

I just had a tile floor installed in my already finished basement with radiant heat, and a new paint job. It cost around 20k. When we finished our basement originally (15 years ago) it cost 55k translate that to today’s money and you are looking at 100k.

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
