Obviously I'm not going to be putting walnut doors and granite countertops in the houses, but I will make sure they are at least structurally sound and visually appealing.

I may have already answered my own question and that is by brining in an appraiser... however I could be wrong and here is the question.Let's say there is a house for foreclosure with everything pretty much done already... granite countertops, hardwood floors, new appliances, net light fixtures, ect... how would you compare this house to other ones recently sold on the market that has similar features like bathrooms, bedrooms, lot size, ect.. but not all the upgrades?

Above and beyond those major issues, the kitchen is in good shape, just need to replace the countertops, a few cabinet doors and appliances.

The counter top also looks cheap and what immediately came to my mind was "with that counter top extension running over the toilet, how am I going to access the toilet flush if I need to fix it someday?"

What type of countertop did you install?

Laundry stations are good, basic millwork and counter top.  

We also don't put LVP on staircases as it does not give great bang for the buck.Granite countertops can be a relatively inexpensive upgrade, but we've found tile backsplash is a regional thing.
