It looks alright as is but wasn’t sure with it being an exterior door if it would be a safety concern.  

HOA is a safety net, that helps with the exterior of the buildings.

Like mentioned above, you have basically no recourse if they break the lease, so you're discounting for a false safety in the first place.

Make sure your place follows all the safety rules and paperwork.

Having a social safety net and certain services like tax-payer funded urgent health care, primary education, roads, parks, etc is important and benefits all people, I am happy to pay into these programs because I can use the benefits.Current government financial and housing assistance is limited to a certain part of the population which is completely unfair, especially considering the people receiving the benefits don't pay taxes.

If it is around the same price as the mesh I would fill it in and create more yard space instead of a potential safety hazard for kids. 

They had it for several years, and we stressed that our goal is safety, preservation, not looking for spectacular returns, so far, they done that.The other major portfolio, I self manage, never turned it over to a financial advisor.

Street parking is not an option.Second, I am comfortable with traveling nurses as I feel there is a certain amount of safety with that profession, but I work as a firefighter and am gone for 2-4 days at a time and am cautious about who will be on the property with my wife and children.

You have no safety net.

I am exclusively focused on retaking possession of our property and the safety of our family considering the threats and marijuana presence on the property.
