A nightstand or dining with 70 pieces is a major bottleneck and keeps your team from moving onto other tasks, whereas one that is already assembled might cost $50-100 more but only takes minutes to unpack. 

For example, you are looking at a four bedroom house but you can enclose the dining room into a 5th bedroom.

Also, if I found a 4/4 in the right area for the right price, I would still want to close up any living and/or dining areas and any interior community areas.

@Felicia JenkinsAlso, Padsplit will want you to eliminate any dining room, den, etc to add more bedrooms. 

You know they will want to add more bedrooms to your house by eliminating the dining room and any den or other similar space and turning it into more bedrooms, right? 

I have never been to any of the properties I own in Atlanta and closed on all of them from my dining room table in Long Island.

@Kitty Walker- As an investor, I've refinanced multiple Padsplits and co-living properties (where we go direct to tenant without Padsplit), and I generally agree with your last statement, with some caveats:- if the renovation is done well, the appraiser may not even say anything that would indicate it is an "abnormal" SFR (has happened multiple times with me)-the investor may be wise not to make the house crazy- just leave a nice open living room, put double doors on the dining room so it can function as a bedroom now but be easy to convert later, etc.  

So, if you can't match whatever is already in the kitchen, then I highly recommend you do kitchen and dining area.  

It sounds a lot like a QSR vs fine dining.
