(Redid the hardwood / new drywall, found a sweet hidden cedar closet and that’ll be a half bath, painted). 

Apparently he used small space heaters whenever he was there, but in Atlanta if you don't have air moving, you get mildew -- the closets of this place were full of it.  

For hvac is it on boiler with window units, central for each unit, mini splits, or basebord with window units and or portable? 

I got my first proposal back from a contractor-here are the items that stood out:Painting-interior walls, trim doors and cabinets, exterior power wash, paint trim, wrought iron-$7,177Flooring-LVT 339 sq ft, 1200 sq ft carpet-$4,620Cabinetry kitchen and vanities-$8,313Doors-all interior doors, 4 bi-fold closet doors, 3 exterior doors-$6,202Punch list- door hardware, cabinet hardware, knobs deadbolts, hinges-$1,804

The feedback that I have had from people touring the unit is: no dishwasher, rooms too small and no off street parking.For context the rooms are fairly small the main bedroom is 12x11 ft and the second bedroom is 8x9ft (no closet).

However, if the upfront cost comes out to $300/sq ft yet the closet comparable is going for $325 sq ft, can the appraiser give you that immediate bump in equity? 

this would consist of knocking down some stair railing, putting up drywall, door, and building out a closet with the current square footage.

If i add a closet to a bedroom, and a shower to a 1/2 bathroom without pulling any permits...How will my resale be affected?

Interior walls framed, sewer connection completed, and underground gas line in progress.Framing for the pocket doors used for the master bath and closet was a little tricky since the opening is actually double the size of the door to accommodate the door when its open.

Similar in a way to the rule that a bedroom must have a closet.
