The changes that need to be done are cosmetic - bath, floors, kitchen. 

I am a part time real estate agent an have access to the MLS.I know an appraisal of the current value would not help me get any money.

Upgraded kitchen sink and faucet.

The first floor will be a 3 bedroom 2 full bathroom layout with an open kitchen and living.

It also has two living rooms and two kitchens.

I didn’t find any unicorns yet of how to keep it super warm but will see if the cover makes a material difference Insulate your pool: Adding a pool cover or blanket can help to keep heat in the water and reduce the amount of energy needed to maintain a comfortable temperature.Set the thermostat correctly: Set the thermostat to the desired temperature and avoid making frequent adjustments, as this can cause the heater to cycle on and off more frequently, which can increase energy usage.Keep the heater clean: Make sure to clean the filter and other parts of the heater regularly to ensure it is operating at its best.Use a timer: Use a timer to turn the heater off when it is not in use.

I would be using 40 x 8 x 9'6" (l x w x h) and mainly one-timers.

And even then I'd still have to share the same kitchen and living room with potential tenant roommates.
