Need Advice on How to Improve Curb Appeal (Pictures Included)

[Ally H.]

Aloha! We're considering transitioning our primary home into a rental and need advice/ideas on how to improve our (older) home's curb appeal. We're not looking into turning it into prime flipping condition, but we want our exterior to be more attractive, inviting, and easier to maintain.

The first 2 pictures are of the front (with the standard Hawaiian open carport on the left). The last picture is from the front door. We're getting conflicting advice from family/friends, so we're interested in polling all your professional opinions before we get started.

To start off, since it's hard to see the front door right now, we think chopping down the front bushes is a start, but some people mentioned that they like the privacy screen that it offers? What do you think? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
