There are places near Modesto where you can but 200 acres of beautiful land with a lake front for something like $135,000 (if I am correct), and I have a friend who looked into buying the land, but the cost to bring in electric is insane and then you neeed to dig a well and install pumps, storage tanks and even 4 inch pipes for fire hydrants.

My property is the second roughest house on block so I agreed that enhancing the image would be helpful. 

You don't go to the grocery store looking to buy oranges that are only 3 inches in diameter and weight 5 oz. 

Enhanced Kitchen Finishes- Granite counters, stainless appliances, better quality appliances, fresh carpet; can enhance rents and quality of tenant.

This iso board is several inches thick (styrofoam type product which is covered on both sides with a fiberglass type material).

Footings.  18 inch deep by 12 inches, 42 inch deep by 6 inches, 36 inches by 10 inches, etc. 

If the government provided some insurance coverage for damage exceeding the enhanced security deposit (would have to be documented of course) and exception from eviction courts for a speedy eviction, then I am sure many would sign on.

We enhanced the layout of the first floor, creating an open concept kitchen, living room, and dining room.

I have seen 3 inch expanded metal treads fill completely up with ice.
