He is invaluable advice, free resources and payed.http://www.themichaelblank.com/session42/ this is great podcast to get started and allows you to visualize attaining something in a relatively short time period.

If the flooring is outdated, replace it with a nice tile... a simple truck to visually enlarge a smaller bath is use a large tile, 16"x16" or 24"x 24", lay them on a bias and use very tight grout lines.Now, the stairway doesn't look bad the way it is, but the baluster and railing look a little cheap, like something you might see on an outdoor deck.

A lot of new drywall, plumbing, electrical, sub floors were added/replaced to kitchen, new windows, siding/gutters/fascia/soffits, flooring (much of home had original hardwood), plus all the visuals you see on photos (cabinets, granite, trim, etc).

Make sure the kitchen and baths are in good/excellent shape and visually pleasing.  

I am trying to visualize what it would look like.

I am thinking about getting rid of the bathtub and leaving just a shower to open up the space a bit, maybe add some storage and make it more visually appealing.

If visual or swipe (max 12) passes, property is not required for another 6 years inspection, Otherwise, 3 years only. 

It is visually apparent that the entire roof was poorly done.  

Having trouble visualizing the kitchen remodel here.

I look at their pictures for visual clues, such as clutter and messes.
