What style is this? What would YOU do to improve the value?
Hey ther! I am under contract for my first investment purchase! This is a very unique property. It looks almost like an A frame, but not quite. The link is below.
My questions to you are:
How would you increase the value of this home/add curb appeal?
What style house would you call this?
Talking about appraising out, do you think this property would have a hard time appraising out for around $118k? Not sure how appraisals work on houses with unique styles/architectures...
Thank you for some feedback! :)

Mansard style. I would assume it is framed normally and the angle could easily be removed although the space may contain insulation. If the shingles are not in very good shape I'd remove the mansard and install side windows. I would still try to open up the side with windows if keeping the mansard. The style should have little effect on the value.
