We may sell within 5 years.

We do want to enhance use for family, but ROI is also important to
us--at least to the extent we can minimize actual loss.


You said you wanted to improve function, but now you say you don't want to
improve it for your use. If that is the case, just clean it up, paint
anything that can be painted with a light color and be done with it. There
will be little ROI on a half assed job that the next owner is not interested
in. Invest that money elsewhere.
