Had to re-plant new trees as well as make substantial donation for each missing tree to a City sponsored tree planting program.All said and done, it was worth it to me but it is quite painful to be held responsible for stuff the previous owner did over several decades.  

You won't get anything from the tenant but also won't get legislation to change based on the first interaction with your elected officials but you will plant a seed and you will have a lever to pull to vent to with someone who might actually be able to drive change! 

And landscaping, planting and seeding grass will have to wait.

I live in a small, quiet, gated, 17 unit Townhome in Valrico and the rules do not allow anyone to plant Flowers in the Garden.

Apartment syndications can yield high returns and apartments have proved to be historically resilient. 

Thanks for the tip @Michael Plante.  

A lot of other callers seemed so hyped up they almost seemed like they were planted there intentionally.

Like @Michael Plante mentioned above we typically wait a couple days.

Replaced the back porch/deck, painted inside and outside, put new carpet in it, added raised planter boxes and added plants around the front of the house.

Clearing land/leveling a lot costs are small compared to the whole build so it won't be enticing for a builder to split his profits, Amazon plants/fulfillment centers are popping up everywhere, won't have any affect on the market.
