It sounds a lot like a QSR vs fine dining. 

I have never been to any of the properties I own in Atlanta and closed on all of them from my dining room table in Long Island.

@Kitty Walker- As an investor, I've refinanced multiple Padsplits and co-living properties (where we go direct to tenant without Padsplit), and I generally agree with your last statement, with some caveats:- if the renovation is done well, the appraiser may not even say anything that would indicate it is an "abnormal" SFR (has happened multiple times with me)-the investor may be wise not to make the house crazy- just leave a nice open living room, put double doors on the dining room so it can function as a bedroom now but be easy to convert later, etc.  

So, if you can't match whatever is already in the kitchen, then I highly recommend you do kitchen and dining area.  

It is pretty stunning how that all turned.. no one is perfect in this business and we all take loss's at some point in time at least if your doing a good amount of deals..
