Also, from what I hear, walls have been moved as well to allow more access (for example in the bathroom).

As with all real estate, I understand each market is different but wanted to see if there's a universal concept that can be applied to get the most bang out of your buck (i.e. does spending $5K on bathroom repairs immediately command higher rents compared to spending $5K spend on HVAC repairs).I'm in San Diego (where cash flow is a bit rough) and specifically focused on properties in the class B/C neighborhoods. 

Roof, new bathroom, leaking plumbing destroying wood, sewage leak.  

Now if you where re-doing the Bathroom/kitchen completely or putting in new siding (think James Hardie) that might be something else.  

Flowers and towels even shower curtain in the bathrooms makes it seem more homey. 

The offer would be for $120K, and the house needs a new kitchen, new hardwood flooring throughout (1800 sq ft home), and there appears to have been a leak from the upstairs bathroom that will need to be dealt with.

My observations:- the bathroom sink pressure seems ok - the kitchen sink pressure seems ok- water from the outside hose bib delivers plenty of waterWhat could be causing this?

This second living area has it's own kitchen , bathroom , bedroom and washer and dryerWell when the appraiser came out a few weeks ago, he said that we couldn't put a value on it, since it only has 1 bed and 1 bath , and that there are no comparable houses in the area, to run comparable sales against it.I thought he was talking about the separate living unit , but apparently he was talking about the main house , in that one of the bedrooms doe Not have a closet or an operable window in it that you can raise up and downSo..... this coming up Monday , I'm going to go over to the property and put in a closet , and a windowMy question is...... once I do this work, will I have a high likely hood of getting it appraised this time ?

I have wood laminate floors, granite counter-tops, and a remodeled bathroom.

New kitchen, new pool equipment and 2 new bathrooms with an $185k price this one will suck.
