code issues for buying a short sale

[Marcus Johnson]

So, I've put an offer on a short sale here in Richfield, MN. I've had my own inspector come through and give me the run down on the property. His inspection had revealed problems that I'm willing to fix on my own. The seller has accepted my offer and have paid for a city inspection which I got back this past week. One of the items of concern was a tree that is to close to the gargage. It's suppose to be more then 18 inches from the roof. The tree is located mostly on the neighbors property. My realtor is saying that it's my responsibility. Does this tree need to be removed before I can rent the property?
