A plane ticket and cost of a hotel is a solid investment into your education.

Building structure / Brick / Wood etcOn-side Washer Dryer or in unit washer dryer Garage spaces available?

Would a new, wood, privacy fence on one side only (all 3 bedrooms) necessarily be a selling point by which I could recoup the fence investment, or would it instead be a turn off and potentially lose me prospective buyers?

This approach tends to appeal to computer programmers, a new segment of the freshly affluent in our society who have made plenty of money out of math and are already half-deluded by their success in computers into believing that equations applied to concrete, earth, wood, steel, human failings, weather, and the inexorable passage of time will yield a golden system that anyone can use to become fabulously wealthy out of land and the structures built on it.Regard the mathletes and their beliefs with a healthy dose of skepticism, drill down past all the fascination to what these numbers are supposed to offer you in the way of insight, and you'll be fine.

Then you can leverage that money (approx $50k) to purchase solid properties with financing.
