Unless you decided one night sneak up in the dead of night and plant a fully established and flowering oak tree such that it overhangs the common fence and her car with intent to damage I would tell her to kick sticks in the nicest way possible. 

I had a request that asked to stay at my home for a "birthday party".

In casual conversation around birthday cake, she said she is selling because she is sick of tenants.   

I have some C class rental properties in and around flower hill and south of fountain square.   

Then slowly grow like a big beautiful cashflowing flower.5) What advice would you give yourself if you were in my position and had to start all over again?

Trim bushes and shrubs, remove weeds, and plant some flowers for color.

We met heard about some off-market properties at a family birthday party and connected with the owner.

Flowers are blooming and the place feels more like home.
