Will a healthier/safer house be a good value-maker?
I bought a single family home in Greeley in 2017. Two possible scenarios: renting out the basement only, or renting out the entire home in the next few months. Will probably sell in a few years.
Besides finishing the basement, we've made the house "healthier/safer" by sealing the crawl space, installing a radon extraction system, escape windows in the basement, and a SimpliSafe alarm. I am flirting with the idea of buying a whole-house water filter to reduce chlorine and other chemicals. It lasts for about 4 years or 400,000 gallons and greatly improves water quality. My realtor says she hasn't seen that as a good value-maker. Is it not reasonable that these improvements attract quality tenants and that health-conscious tenants/buyers would consider this a plus and be willing to pay a little extra? Thoughts?
