Thoughts on ceilings

[Roy Langer]

A house that I own and will be renovating and renting out in the next few years has swirl textured ceilings in the bedrooms. I believe it's called artex. My question is, should I spend the time and money to remove the look? Not sure what it would cost to have the either sanded down or skim coated, to get them flat. Is it something that could keep renters out. The house is in a middle class to lower class neighborhood.

 You don't see much of this in Chicago, and to be honest I dont see a renter paying more or less just based on ceiling, but I do see them paying more for an updated kictchen/bath. I would just leave it, even though I'm sure it's somewhat of an eye soar because its not that common here in the city at least anymore.
