This is more appealing to me and my situation.

The front almost looks the same and the yards surrounding look good which makes the home look even worse curb appeal wise.

My Grandmother had one of the walk in tubs installed in her house.She is handicapped.Why would this area appeal to the more senior community? 

Hi...Anybody out there with a rental property in NYC that has gone through a real estate property tax appeal?

If you're aiming mid-level or higher, it may be worth sacrificing some of that for more eye-appeal (such as using tile instead of tub surrounds, or refinishing floors if you happen to have wood under those carpets).

As for what is most appealing to renters/homebuyer; updated kitchen and baths are first concern for most.  

We plan our topics to appeal to investors who have already made it past the first deal or two. 

I have seen it happen.I try to find the undervalued properties,  you can also appeal the value if you feel it's not accurate or based on POS price, this has worked in my favor and also I have not been abel to move the assessed price, but it was worth trying.Good luck!

I have spoken with many investors about how they handle their property taxes and the overwhelming majority seem to appeal their annual assessment only when the value jumps a certain percentage (say 5-10%).

We buy single family homes that would appeal to a family.
