My SFH isn't being rented. Need some advice pls

[Monica Guerrero]

Hi there! Looking for some ideas/solutions for this issue...

I rehabbed a property and have it listed to rent out. Vacancy rate in the area is almost 2% and while my SFH has had a lot of interest, it hasn't had any applications :(

Biggest feedback we're getting is that the neighbor's yard is an eyesore and unfortunately there's a broken down privacy wall in between my property and his aka no real division.

I'm an out of state investor. It'll take months to get a property survey done and I can't reach the owner of the neighbor's house to see where the property changes/if he's okay splitting the cost. I called his number listed online (skiptracing) but haven't had a response or call back.

What would you do if you were me? Would y'all just put up a privacy wall anyway?
