I am in the Tampa Florida market and they make a killing here and are worth their weight in gold to the owners of the community.  

Best option: don't invest in areas with high crime.Security cameras, motion-detecting lights, and plenty of signs that it's protected by a security system.

Great post @Garrett Brown, we have a vibey outdoor hang with string lights, plants and seating by a mini gas fire pit.

Remodeled kitchen and lighting plus refurbished floors.

After closing, I painted the whole interior of the house, made some small maintenance repairs, added new LVP and updated light fixtures.

We refinished Floors, New paint on all walls and ceilings, new light fixtures, rebuilt entire back deck, painted entire exterior, trimmed large oak trees where branches were hanging over the roof.

My guess would be its a "you get what you pay for" situation.Can anyone shed some light with recent experiences?

You can also make your place more trouble-free by fixing things up front that are most likely to break (new light fixtures, light bulbs, door locks, etc.).

The interior was made up of high efficiency HVAC systems, contemporary lighting, and electric water heaters.
