Curb appeal is a big deal, so my first thought is to replace the fence. 

How is your curb appeal? 

Is this the best way to use funds to appeal to more buyers, or leave it as is and offer credit.

@Scott Choppin the issue you are going to face is two fold; one, very few real estate crowdfunding sites, if any, will take on ground up development because they are inherently higher risk, longer term projects that do not appeal to the majority of current crowdfund investors so are difficult to capitalize, and two, investor demand for real estate crowdfunding slants heavily towards current pay on preferred returns which don't make good economic sense for ground up deals.These two issues may sound the same, but they are driven by different underlying dynamics.

That being said, it's really just aesthetics unless you want to make significant upgrades. 

It will take another 14 days before it is final and non-appealable. 

What would you do to improve the curb appeal of this little brick house? 

Once I stepped back to look at what I was offering, it makes sense that it wouldn't be super appealing.

Bay View seems to be a popular/appealing area, but the schools rate poorly. 

Im not very interested in Newark but, Zanesville seems appealing.
