first thing i would do is focus on curb appeal. pulling weeds manicuring the lawn and adding flower beds with mulch and plants is a good way to start. you do want to spend some time in the kitchen and bathroom's there main selling points of a house. a good way to add value would be to expand the living area in the basement and attic areas if possible adding a bedroom or bathroom would certainly add good value. hardwood/laminate flooring is highly desirable. obviously you want to paint the house.

My property isn’t cash flowering and I’m still having to make repairs to get it up to standards.

My common sense advice: hire a new management company.My experience: try cleaning up the front yard, planting flowers (not this time of year though), install a fancy looking front door, install new windows in the front of the house.

Many days, people who lived in the neighborhood would stop by and ask how I made the grass so green or where I was finding all the trees, bushes, and flowers.

Water their flowers.

@Ivy Flowers You touched on it by mentioning kids.

I am right around the corner from you in Flower Mound. 

Hi @Tijana Flowers-Harris,I think it comes down to how much cash you have for a downpayment.
