The only thing with partial development is that you have to make sure you lay it out correctly. If you do a half assed job and your layout is poorly thought out, it will make your house less attractive when you go to sell. To be honest if you're not completing anything....it's probably not worth your time and effort because at best you'll recover your cost and have spent the time doing it.

I had some development done in a house once, and I did okay because I finished a full bathroom, and all the walls were painted and finished to the point that only the flooring was required. But I did that when I moved in and I needed that extra work done so I could live in the house. But if I'd put in the extra couple grand into finishing it off....I would have got much more. Essentially spending that last 2g's would have netted me a return of like 10g. So keep that in mind 80% of the work only looks like 20% of the work to the average person. Hence you don't make as much money on that work.
