Landscaping has the largest ROI (of about 200%), adding a wood deck or a patio will also provide a big increase in value (100% ROI).Add living space, consider converting attic space, finishing a basement, or repurposing a large living area to add a bedroom without expanding the home's footprint - this will give you an average ROI of around 75%.

i get one of those mechanical lock boxes from masterlock and mount it to a post or the deck, in the event that the smartlock fails i can get them a phsyical key from the lockbox by giving them that code.

Hire a Architect to provide drawings with a lot of details such as existing house elevations and floor plan, proposed elevations and new floor plan, roof, wood deck, addition, etc.

Oy, I have to remember to measure the interior sill height, from the pictures it looks like less than 2' probably 23" lolDid I mention I'm considering installing a 30" deck under the window to make it less than 20'.But I would still have to deal with the other side. 

A small leak in the hot tub and decks that could use a good staining are on the list.

Pretty much all major components were newly installed / fitted and done to a tasteful standard (new metal roof, plumbing, electrical, kitchen, flooring, bathroom, doors, new hvac, decks, vinyl siding etc) and I have visited and walked through 3 times and even been under crawl space to inspect a repair that was previously noted on an inspection to the foundation after termite treatment which looked to be a good job.

The property management company has developed a plan to meet this requirement:a) cleaning all windows troughs and sills, scraping and painting of window troughs and sillsb) scraping and painting of all previously painted floor surface that is chipping or peelingc) scraping and painting of any exterior paint that is chipping or peeling including garage decks and house d) scraping and painting of all exterior door thresholds and jams Their estimated to complete this pre-inspection repair work is $500.The certification inspection is $350City filing fee $50Property management coordination fee $50I need to know if this certification is mandatory or not, maybe Cleveland realtor and property manager on Biggerpockets could answer me and clarify my doubts.Let me know pleaseThank you very much

I often wonder if the remote location (20 minutes up the mountain) is a turnoff and travelers are starting to prefer motel-like accommodations that are close to the main highways.Houses in the middle of the woods with no view, houses that are non-cabin style like they belong in a normal major city suburb, no game room, no deck to take in the view, no hot tub, no area for a fire pit, no room for extra activities like corn hole or throwing the football, poor driveway, steep entrance, tons of stairs etc.

But during inspection of the attic, the bottom of the roof decking and the rafters were black from a long ago fire (5+years). 

I would want garages, and no decks.
