Improvements that DON’T drive the ARV as much: Windows, Landscaping, Driveway, Rough Plumbing & ElectricalI agree with @Jaron Walling about meeting the appraiser at the property and providing documentation.

Glazing in walls, enclosures or fences containing or facing hot tubs, spas, whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, bathtubs, showers and indoor or outdoor swimming pools where the bottom exposed edge of the glazing is less than 60 inches (1524 mm) measured vertically above any standing or walking surface shall be considered to be a hazardous location.

However, it can take longer if the faucet is wall-mounted or if there are other challenges.

@Jaron Walling I bought the property for 67K.

A friend in Austin recently added a photo of their library wall, and suddenly they started attracting more “workcation” bookkings.Tailor Your Alt Text to TravelersAirbnb’s AI doesn’t just categorize listings - it also matches them with guest search intent.

Jaron Walling said something that caught my attention, "search for and buy a bad roof, leverage it during the negotiation"....especially of the property has been sitting on the market longer than normal for the current market, a "bad roof" might be a gift from the real estate genie.My point is this: get good at estimating and fixing a bad roof (or any particular problem found with most houses that sit on the market longer) and you'll get comfortable buying/fixing properties that scare off other buyers. 

I would be surprised if the city *doesn't* require the walls to be opened.

It WILL always be like smashing through a wall with your head as fists as the hammer, you will "get bloody", it will hurt, it will exhaust you, it will test you to your breaking point and beyond.

@Jaron Walling I appreciate the response!

Don’t forget the pool area- add pool games and perhaps a feature wall.
