Whatever the reason, it has nothing to do with me, or anything I can influence.

I actually read one of your posts on this topic years ago, which influenced me to carefully choose the right market.  

I can only imagine a home in florida that has not had AC for a year what the interior looks like.

I've already renovated one of the bathrooms, and I’m planning to paint the interior, update the kitchen cabinets, possibly sand the wood floors, build a fence is a corner lot and increase the rent for the room since my tenant is currently renting the entire 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house for $800 a month.

The house is 3/1, and about 1200 sqft in the living space though, so pretty quick interior wise. 

I'd say everything else is the consequence of the 2 points above - the weather and the state of economic affairs influences everything else, including safety, infrastructure, the condition of housing stock, etc.

When you get to rural areas, even in Tuscany, you need to more risk-adverse as the property value might not increase, unless you have another operating business on it like a boutique hotel or vineyard, that you can blast social media influencers to get more people to come.

So at a glance (quick), this seems to be interior products and finishes?

Given they are going to damage the walls while moving anyway it eliminates their need to touch up the halls and I can usually schedule to have one painter knock out multiple units in a day but even if its a one off sale, it comes across as good service for a small amount of money.In a storage area within the house or garage I will leave an unopened box of each tile, and flooring used in the house along with unopened 1 gallon buckets of the wall and semi gloss paints and one of each door hardware (kitchen and interior doorway.

New roof, interior & exterior paint, finished additional living space What was the outcome?
