We did not end up doing it (for which I am very grateful now because I knew nothing about renting at the time and now think it would have ruined me for ever renting in the future) however it planted a thought in the back of my head that drove me to do some reading now in 2021. 

And a few Bucks Donated every now and then to an Animal Shelter might ease your thoughts a bit, because they do need help and cannot really fend for themselves.Kind of like owning a 747 and planting trees for Carbon Credits--an Offset for your mind.Good Luck!

Additionally, throw in a couple of plants around the new gate and it could really dress up the front.On a side note and I think this is very important, if you have an electronic gate, you are able to provide the code to your local Law Enforcement agency.

A short radio interview on Plant Money in Mnpls opened with a tenant receiving a $400 rent increase from $1200 to $1600.

@Michael Plante I've considered that, but I also really like the cashflow, even if it is halved.
