Buying neglected 33 unit property NEED Gate

I am buying a neglected 33 unit property. The owner is not local and has let the property go down hill. 10 units are currently rented. The buildings look fine and are in good condition other than a few broke doors. There have been 2 units broken into in the last month. This property is NOT fenced. The prior owner is currently installing additional lighting and security cameras. This property is 1/2 acre. I am going to get a quote on fencing. I am curious if anyone has experience with an automatic gate? Do you have a supplier and cost ? I am not sure if a property this small will generate enough income to afford the fencing and automatic gate. I am hoping the lighting and camera will be a huge help. There are several unfenced complexes in my area. Any help or tips would be appreciated.
