@Michael Plante I agree with St Pete, FL area but not too familiar with NY markets.

Build an ADU that is of same exterior architectural and eye pleasing as the current house to add value also think about landscaping and plantings that create privacy and sound barriers

@Jonathan Plant I love that style duplex.

@Luke Jackson - do some research on the timber industry.....https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/thousands-of-southerners-planted-trees-for-retirement-it-didnt-work-1539095250

I have had buyers ask to either include or buy plants, furniture, lawn mower/lawn equipment.You can ask for a new kitchen and bathroom, HVAC, etc.  

I always take the attitude unlike our friend here Michale Plante to treat others like I want to be treated.

If I want to add texture to it (orange peel or knockdown) which texture will be more easy to do?

If I were looking at properties on the east side I would, personally put greater emphasis to the east side addresses within 3 blocks the BPG revitalization of Market St, since this technically falls into the City's master revitalization plants.

 Assuming the Exterior is completely dried in, the next steps to finish the project would be:Drywall or Wall Finish - a Cabin in Montana might prefer a Wood Finish instead of the Drywall we typically use in Arizona - Possibly a combination of both; I suspect Drywall would be least expensive but maybe not as Aesthetically correct.Assume an inspection is required to confirm proper Nailing of Wallboard prior to next steps - Make sure Wiring and Plumbing passed inspection prior to installing Wallboard.Tape, Texture, and Paint - If Drywall is used, not required for a Wood Wall Finish, but Wood might need to be Stained and Sealed.Flooring - Carpet, Tile, WoodMillwork - Cabinets and CountertopsElectrical Trim - Includes installation of Electrical Outlets, Switches, and Light Fixtures. 

Of course, at tax time, after depreciation and the losses, I do get the benefit from Uncle Sam.I no longer live in the area and the two properties I purchased this past year are in my new home town…not a booming market, but a growing, rural economy, with housing price escalating quickly with local factories and processing plants expanding; although this might be short-lived as we know rural areas can do..What I’m considering is selling the two Phoenix properties, either on a 1031 exchange or via a Deferred Sales Trust arrangement and putting the proceeds into a few smaller houses closer to my current area.So, the facts: -Both homes are still under the value I paid for them-Both homes have negative cash flow, cap rates hovering around 2 – 2.5%-I’ve taken significant heloc or refinance out of each to buy other properties, but have in the ballpark of $120 - 140K equity/profit after selling (both)-I never plan on much appreciation, but the Phoenix housing market should be adding 4% annual today.I keep telling myself that it makes sense to sell these, get out from under the large debt and negative cash flow and put the funds into multiple smaller places that will cash flow, but may not appreciate as much.
