With things like the ONE Linden plan in Linden, which is a 50M plan to improve the neighborhood.

If you plan to sell it in the near future, I would focus more on the added value overall. 

I'm planning on putting 25% down because that is a requirement of the loan.

Sounds like a great plan if you can get an SFR that hits the 1% rule.

I definitely plan to attend some in person meet-ups.

With proactive planning, they should be able to close on replacement properties within the 180-day period.

Insurance deductible is $5k and I was not planning on filing until I found out about the total loss of the wood floors.  

However, anything that impacts functionality like plumbing, HVAC, or safety issues should be handled before listing to avoid turning off potential renters/buyers.If you’re re planning to lease it, tenants will expect everything to be move-in ready before signing.

I want to prepare my home for renting, and my plans are to buy a motor home to live in for the time being.

Before moving forward, have a clear plan for how you'll use the funds, whether for a down payment, property rehab, or another investment opportunity.Good luck!
