Maybe a really nice outdoor space with tv and fireplace?

I would also encourage you to look into the house hack space. 

Some of the most in-demand upgrades include:✅ Modern, open-concept layouts – Knocking down walls to create larger living spaces✅ High-end but cost-effective finishes – Quartz countertops, LVP flooring, and neutral color palettes✅ Energy-efficient upgrades – Smart thermostats, updated HVAC systems, and LED lighting✅ Curb appeal improvements – Fresh exterior paint, desert-friendly landscaping, and modern front doorsFinal ThoughtsWhile finding a property that offers both appreciation and cash flow is tough, there are still solid BRRRR opportunities in Phoenix if you know where to look.

In Franklinton there are plenty of large projects going on that will bring massive growth to the west side of Columbus, such as the Peninsula Development, which is a multiphase project that will erect a 24 story apartment complex featuring a grocery store, a multi use office space building, and a new hotel featuring a two-story venue.

It's not like they will pay you more for the space.

The plans include installing a septic system, water and power, and creating a living space inside with a kitchen, bathroom and living room (studio apartment).

I know my Colorado clients are a full spectrum of Airbnb properties -- from budget 1br cabins to high-end designed spaces.
