If your investment capital is the root and trunk of the tree, the leaves are the cap rate.

Don't plant trees that can grow tree roots into the line.

Now, nearly 75 years after the birth of 213, Los Angeles County has 10 area codes, eight rooted in geography and two floating atop (“overlay”) heavily used 310 and 818.

You may find roots or just a simple blockage.

Cracks, roots, crushed line, missing lines all together!

You can check the sewer line as well, they often get tree roots in them and require replacing.You can buy a home without doing any of this but this will give you a better idea of the issues you are going to run into after you close on the house.

If you are going to remove it the landscaping crew should be able to give you an estimate to cut the tree down to the stump vs grinding/pulling roots out.

I'll be rooting for you.

@Robert DuncanMaybe try getting to the root of why he wants 140k, and help him understand why that's not possible and no one will pay him that.If he doesn't want to sell for lower, maybe try and come back to him in some time to follow up.
