To add a back deck or not

[Kyle Tipton]

Greetings, BP!

I'm trying to decide whether or not I should add a deck to my primary house that I plan to later rent/sell (market depending) once I move in a couple of years. I'm curious to hear how others feel on this. Has anyone added a deck and seen a return on it or does anyone add decks when they flip houses, prep for rentals, etc? I'd love to hear what people have experienced in the past. 

A couple considerations: 

-The back of house butts up against a dense wooded area and a creek. 

-Most comps in the area have back patio/deck areas.

-I would enjoy it a lot while living here. 

-IMO, it would make the house more functional and the back area more usable. 

I can't wait to hear how others feel about this! Thanks, in advance!
