Number two often kicks people in the pants. I've seen many modifications only to realize when you go to sell the home it's in violation and needs to either be fixed or paying a fine to the HOA. A none HOA I'm not sure how much it matters in that case.

The other curb appeal I can't tell you how spending around $750 or less for new younger looking plants really brings new life to a home. It can take a 1970s home from the outside and turn it into a more modern and fresh home. Save some money by really cutting down overgrown bushes and hedges is a easy quick fix as well. Anything large and overgrown at least for me is a real turn off and ages the house.

Permissionless modifications are a really stupid idea. No investor or homeowner should ever make them.

Yes, cleaning up curb appeal on the cheap always pays off because buyers are more focused on how things look than what type of shape they are in.

The unpermitted modifications come into play regardless of HOA. I'm currently buying a 3 family that is technically only a 2 family (illegal studio apartment) but buying it at a 2 family price. :-)
