Should I add fence to my rental property
Hello everyone,
We just purchased our first rental property thanks to bigger pockets, and have a tenant in already.
It is one block away from the nice area. The unit is gutted and renovated.
We charge $1050 while other properties on the block rent for $900-950.
Our property already stands out from others due to renovation but I want to add a privacy fence.
Our rent was actually counting the fence expense. Now that the tenant is in, should I still add the fence?
My wife says no, I know what she thinks make sense, but I would like to add for a sense of home.
Just want to hear you guys out.
Thanks in advance.

Did you tell the tenant that you would be installing a fence? What is the norm for the area? If you didn't promise the fence as part of the rent, then leave it for now. You can always add it later.
