A finished sunroom will add that much needed extra living space if possible.

On the silly end, I have Enjoy Suduko, WinPoker (a video poker training program), and recently found Nyan Cat lost in space which is a totally stupid but fun time waster.

Maybe when its time to replace the studs (if they ever need replacing) you could also frame in a shelf (if it would be practical given your space) so that it wouldn't need to be addressed again.

Also some may not want to go underneath bc it's dirty, tough work with not a lot of space...call a few different contractors and someone may be willing to work hard...

List the rent and number of bedrooms, so you won't have to filter calls about that info.

Previous owner must have been meaning to remodel basement, as it is totally gutted.Master bedroom was also previously 2 rooms, but they removed wall.

Also at $495 a month id guess theyre 1 bedroom units, 1 bedroom units have the highest turn over and are the hardest to rent.

Remove the spaces.

I like my privacy, I like my space, etc... you'll have to decide what you're willing to sacrifice in your day to day living for the next few years and trade that against maximizing your return long term.
