As a buyer I'd push toward the lower price, as the seller I push towards the higher.

Did you push thru with your ADU project?

A 2 month deadline might be pushing it, but you don't know until you ask.

They didn't take baby steps, they pushed it as soon as they could.

But you get that push on your return by forcing appreciation through improved operations and/or unit improvements.  

I weighed out a cost benefit on the mini splits since it would push the heating bill onto the tenants and add an A/C value to them instead of an overhaul of a aging copper system. 3k a year in oil alone at an 8 cap seemed to be potentially break even with some value added to the tenants, but the freedom to add the  possible 850 a month at that cap started looking very Interesting. 

But rather than repair the stove, I would purchase a used appliance for that same amount or less.You have to consider life expectations, actual remaining life, and what you are comfortable defending in front of a judge if the tenant ever pushes back.

I just rewatched your Podcast show and that was the last push I needed to FINALLY post in the forums.

I realize the root of it is to just seal up everything.

My personal house has to augered once every couple of years because roots grow into the line where the gaskets connect, that is normal. 2.
