New floors and carpet, all bathrooms and kitchen needed updating.

Ripped out all of the carpeting, living room built-ins, and the kitchen.

having already been running the detail company for some time I was knowledgeable in keeping up with the needed day to day activities. at the time of purchase more than 70% of the car wash equipment was broke and not working.

Meaning, if the kitchen has high end finishes...then yours should too.  

Appraisers simply take the square footage approach and don't seem to care about the extra kitchen and other amenities.

It will need a kitchen/kitchenette, and the current entrance is through the garage.

If you are looking at adding a bathroom, try your best to locate the new bathroom as close as possible to an existing plumbing/drain source (either the kitchen, or to another bathroom).  

Many renovations and updates are already done (half the windows, all bathrooms, both kitchens) and I love a Tudor.

The solar equipment destroyed, there is nothing for the lender to remove.

New flooring, new paint, new fixtures, updated kitchen and bathroom.
