Accidentally sprayed the small oak tree I had planted from an acorn three years earlier.

Our mobile home loan with Green Tree is 42 days past due.

Thirdly, a 20% of gross rents factor for maintenance and vacancy is only accurate if 1) the property is FULLY stablized (new roof, new furnace, new windows, and so on)--and most of the TKRs I've seen do NOT meet this standard by a long shot, 2) if the property is VERY aggressively managed--heavy screening, prompt eviction, quick re-rent--a practice not common amongst most property managers, and 3) aggressive maintenance is done to maintain the capital repair items (changing furnace filters bi-monthly, cleaning gutters in the fall to avoid failure, maintaining metal roofs, cutting back trees to avoid roof damage, etc--again, uncommon amongst property managers).

Some times the 'hate' is so fresh and overwhelming they cant see the Forrest for the trees.

Last house I sold I had to completely treat whole house and unattached garage because they found them in a tree stump by the garage.

We renovated the properties and the cove completely redoing the properties themselves and adding fences to cut off walkways and cut-throughs from other neighborhoods and apartments, planting trees, shrubs and flowers, painting the brick to bring vibrant colors and generally raised the "look" of this area from urban decay to urban renewal.

Just not my cup of tea with the way the law reads.

Dates and life expectance of all mechincal items.The neighborhood is older (1957) with Large Trees so I paid a Plumber $95 to run a camera down the drain to the street.

You will see times where trees that hang over a new roof destroy it quickly, or make it covered in moss, shortening the life.

Our architect has already reviewed all of this and we have met with the City Arborist for tree removal, etc.
