There are several types of cover ups for very warn decks such as restore or deck over at home depot.

There is a roof above this porch so there shouldn't be puddles of water on the porch.There is a paint type waterproof material that they sell for wood decks.

I did not allow 3' pools, I have allowed hot tubs with covers on a deck.

If you have wood frame windows, generally you can easily clean the dry latex from the glass with a 3" razor knife or just a 'raw' utility blade held at 15 degrees or so from the glass.I recently switched from the Titan gun to a Graco and it seems to work a little better.

We ripped out the whole kitchen and a bathroom, replaced all tile, appliances, cabinets, built a deck, replaced all trim, painted, and refinished hardwood floors.

Going to call roofing to get an estimate, but can I go with no roof? Like water proof the pillar or something like that? Please see the picture for any ideal which would be great. Thanks a bunch.

You have a number of options but I prefer using a stain used for decks or porch enamel because it eliminates the need to use a primer. 

For that reason, I'd stack the deck in your favor, and 1) invest in the area you know the best (your area)and/or2) invest in an asset that you can swing by casually.  

and that was the logic I was going for too, at this point it wouldnt make sense for me to try to compete with some of the larger luxury units, because even if I tried to offer all of the same unit benefits, I still cant compete with the community benefits (ie, gym, pool, huge roof decks, lounges, etc, ground floor retail).
