In today’s market most homes will be worth more than their outstanding loan balance unless they are VERY recent purchases with little to no money down.

I have been planning on selling my home.

I own a unique mobile home park in South Carolina that's relatively small (5 acres) comprised of 12 lots (I own 8 of the homes while the other 4 are owner-occupied and charged lot rent) along with a house (3 units). 

For investors, this translates into higher cash flow and improved ROI.2.

I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.

Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Finding a move-in-ready home that offers modern upgrades and country charm can be challenging—but this fully renovated 4-5 bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch is the perfect solution.

And you can stabilize and secure the home..

And it's not only the homes, you also have to fortify your grocery stores, schools and anything else.

The term curb appeal is simply referring to the home's exterior being appealing, which doesn't have anything to do with plants or pots or items directly.

Quote from @Isaac Terry: I was looking at homes in Akron & Clevand, they are affordable but since I'm out of state I'm not sure about pulling the trigger on investing.
