Curb appeal for higher-end properties will be much more important, especially when it comes to marketing - most ads and main listing photos feature the front of the property.In this case, I would consult with a professional - i.e. landscape designer or stager.

Realize that you need to design around it.

Ok, so I see this might have been a design flaw in the original build so there isn't much you can do unless you rip it all out.You could have it all scoped and see what's what so you can get an idea of what you are dealing with.You could comp the guests a night.

Adding and making better could sell or rent faster, but it won't get you more than what the market ARV and rent is set at from other similar comps in the area....and your Interior Design background will help, if you you it mostly as an understanding of cost. 

Quote from @Francisco Solano: I suggest you ask a business attorney in your state for this basic template.

This designation doesn’t cost extra or give the manager access to insurance payouts but ensures you and the property manager are aligned during incidents, such as tenant lawsuits or insurance claims.

For background, I'm partnered with an architect and interior designer, but I'd have to find most of the subs as I don't have any formal connections (at least in the area I'd like to build).

Shout out to permit professionals like Roy Hasson (just a friend in LA specializing in navigating permit process - this is not a business play we do not work together), who are dedicated to helping others and will likely develop similar resources to support their communities through the rebuilding process.If you’re working on rebuilding efforts or have questions, feel free to connect with me—I’d love to collaborate.

Beg family and friends to fund it for you.They "might" do it if they see you've learned a lot and your business plan sounds very solid.How do I know this "might" work?
