Window Screens on SFR?

Would you put screens on your home's windows? What about screen doors? (The screen door seems more like a headache to me that anything) What about upgraded fencing to up property value later or or chain link if adding a fence? These are B Class properties,  but 2 of them flood the yard with water during storms and are low enough they have a grinder pump to run off to the city's serer system. The water always runs on off, but makes a mess in 2 of the yards. I might could fix this issue now, but is it something I should be wasting resources on now or at a later date? Just curious to your "absolutely nots" when putting money into a rental.

The plan is to buy and hold, so property value isn't really the motivator, but the homes are nice in the area and I want to keep them that way. But they have to pay for themselves. I'm just not sure what I should take on now, and what should come further down the road for upgrades or maintenance.
