My first reaction would do a more elegant/stylish balustrade, which would IMMEDIATELY set your unit apart from all the others, since interiors are how you're competing. 

The bottom floor is split into 2 units, the top floor is one unit, which is stylish like a loft.

To get it in that condition would be roughly (and I've estimated high on all of it)Upgrade to hardwoods on second floor, and refinish first floor. 12KPaint interior 5KUpgrade appliances and plumbing fixtures. 5KUpgrade electrical fixtures (some have been upgraded to stylish black wrought iron look which is popular here) 2KNew HVAC first floor (second floor HVAC replaced already) 5KLandscaping 5K (this may be really high, but I figure it pads the other numbers in case something comes up)Total rehab 34KSo we've had some investors come and look at the house and offers range from 290-300K.

@Nathan Adams Unless it needs to be painted there is not much you can do other than paint...not sure but maybe a clean light gray.Some older 1960’s condos here built bIg planters out of wood and galvanized metal...very cute.

Then create a patio/entry for each lower unit by a simple screen of an above-ground planter from the post to the stairs, or maybe at an angle to where the stairs begin.The rest is comparatively very simple... don't paint the brick, do the siding in a darker dusty green, the window muntins in a very dark gray (it'll match the black powder-coated hog wire balusters), get a very LARGE round fake attic vent for the gable,https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2196/8707/produc...and install a clete at the bottom of the gable which will look like a horizontal supporting member for the second-story columns.Lose those shutters, paint the entry doors a very deep, rich color, with the first and second story doors slightly different.

Well, said tiki torch fell over and caught the fence on fire.Luckily our old neighbor was woken up by the burning of the fence and was able to douse out the fire with a water hose.Between the burned planters and the burned fence. 

That was just 3 days of work and I ended up giving rental credit for broken planters that the roofers left in pieces.

Adding mulch to flower/planter beds is good tooFor a single family home, a couple thousand dollar investment should yield a good curb appeal return. 

Some other strong contenders that we are exploring for lines of credit now that we are really established, Farmers Bank (in Nashville but do deals here), Planters Bank, and First Advantage. 

Navy is very stylish right now, but not so dark it doesn’t “accent.”
