It means my property won't appreciate as I'm already at the top end and competing with homes in other neighborhoods.Consider staging that dining room, the diagonal tile is pretty busy, but nice, set it off or balance it out with furnishings.

As I understand it, there has to be a closet and an egress...anyone have any further insight into this...I have a property that is a 2-BR, and the only way to add another bedroom is to convert the dining area in the center of the house...

I'll do a few strategic things like convert a useless dining room into an extra bedroom, put el cheapo Chinese granite counter tops on crappy cabinets and paint them just to make them look good, replace the toilet, add some updated fixtures then, put some lipstick (paint) on that pig and sell it for almost top dollar. 

I wouldn't be a good agent because I would just be like "look Fred, the open market places zero value and does not give two sh-ts about your fond memories with your late Aunt Sally in the dining room.

For us its travel,, aviation, fly-fishing, and some nice dining and socializing.. for others I am sure its a myriad of things and depends on where you live in the country and what your interests are. 

Boiler looks newer. 1 unit is a 1 bed room, 2nd has 1 bed room with smaller rm with closet but not big for a real 2 bed room. 2nd floor has full 3 bed rooms, living rm, dining rm and a 4th room with no closet.

This time they smashed out the dining room window, took the new front door and the existing dishwasher.  

When I eventually have turnover it will be more difficult, but so far I'm stunned by how easy it's been. 

I was appalled to see that  they had taken a section of damaged vinyl out of a kitchen dining space, and replaced it with a TOTALLY different vinyl.  

I am stunned at a quality of people and information posted on this website.
