I have a giant backyard...

[Sean Steele]

I just closed on a house that has a giant backyard. The lot is 6000 square feet and the backyard is just rocks and a little bit of concrete.

My goal here is to BRRR this property, and then house hack it for a year. My question is what can I do to my backyard that will bring the most bang for my buck for the BRRR?

I am going to fix the fence (I am really hoping the city will do something but who knows, its the fence that faces the public sidewalk)

I read somewhere that humans instinctively like the savanna, open land with a few trees.  Easy to spot predators and trees to hide in or get away.  Plant 4-5 native oaks spread out.  Put a 5 gallon bucket with a tiny drilled hole at the bottom edge at each tree and fill the bucket with water twice a week to encourage deep roots.  Good quality trees are worth thousands when selling.
