A fresh coat of paint in a modern neutral color and updated lighting can really elevate those spaces.Adding a deck or patio can be a great way to increase usable living space and boost value.

I would however recommend elevating anything placed in a non-elevated utility room to ensure damage is unlikely in future storms.

I can see where it would elevate my efforts and provide a great standard to follow as I gain experience.   

Regarding the elevator, you will not be able to rent to multiple people who can't walk up that many stairs and you might get negative reviews about people having to carry their luggage.

Trying to cast some undisclosed drama to elevate yourself over others in your reply to their post makes you look small. 

Give us a two paragraph elevator pitch for what you're advocating. 

After investing $35,000 in targeted renovations, we elevated its appeal and market value.

I also liked the fact that it was structurally sound with concrete block construction, a tile roof, and high elevation.

Household furniture must be positioned and/or elevated to allow adequate air flow underneath and between furnishings and adjacent walls.

So much so that when we do come across that all-to-rare exception of a person who's grinding at improving there life, to elevate, it's notice, it's a shocker, and we go the extra mile to really help them if and where we can.
