Ended up passing on this deal. Thanks everybody for the replies! I learned a few things.

@Jim K. Thanks for the rough estimates I wasn't sure. That is a lot but I can see how it would be expensive.

This is a good idea and could work as a temporary solution. Thanks! I'm not sure about this long term because it doesn't solve the potential issues with the sidewalks and foundation.

@Patricia Steiner Thank you for the response. We can remove trees on private property. I think if the trees were on the other side of the sidewalk then we would not be able to remove them. I think they have to go!

Take a look at these photos. The trees make the house look very dark. They are also pretty close to the house and sidewalks. The trees are both in the power lines. Do you think I should try to remove these if I go forward with this deal? Would it be very expensive to remove?
