Buy Considerations: Yardwork

[Lee G.]

I am currently living in a property I plan on renting in the future.  Before purchasing the property, my opinion on the many large trees on and around the property was very positive.  I enjoy the shade, the beauty, and privacy which I believe someone else would also find attractive whether I decide to rent or sale in the future. 

Now that fall has arrived and I am in a constant battle with falling leaves and pine straw.  Being a new buyer, I have been eager to get out there and take on this challenge.   I've been pondering the topic of how to refine my buying criteria for rental properties in the future in regards to a property with many trees and potential yard maintenance.  I would love other people's thoughts on the topic.
