As an agent, I can tell you that homes on busy streets or frontage roads are more difficult to sell. 

My work & family schedule makes it difficult to attend a Thursday night meetup so I haven't been able to attend much.

1) Know your neighborhood. 2) Know where the money is coming from. 3) Know your goal—both short- and long-term. 4) Offer on a house in your target neighborhood. 5) Pay when accepted or repeat step 4 until successful. 6) If necessary, put together a list of repairs. 7) Complete repairs. 8) List for sale/rent. 9)Sell or rent to a qualified prospect buyer/renter. 10) Save the overage between rent and mortgage in case needed for repairs. 11) Repeat.Don't make it too difficult.
