Quote from @Laura Morlock: I have an opportunity to purchase a very beautiful and unique property - striking century manor house directly on the river, 1.5 acres, huge detached garage/workshop, in a quaint little town 15 mins to two major cities and a little under an hour west of Toronto.I know the property inside and out, it's turnkey, and I would love to own it, but I don't know what to do with it.

It’s a blast helping new investors like you find their rhythm and start building wealth.Talk soon,JulianTurning investment visions into REALITY in Omaha, NE - Ranked #1 city to move to by Forbes Magazine.

I can't speak to that myself, it's not my specialty but I think that would be one of your biggest concerns is their permit processes. 

However, to my knowledge, as of now that is not something that the city is actively enforcing against.

Do you have a city/market in mind for these investments? 

Those are going to be my biggest questions when looking for something like this on or off the market.

Should you run into an issue with said tenant and need to evict or should city know you placed them in there, you expose yourself to potential fines. 

I would imagine it ended with him making no money as this sounds like the biggest steaming pile of poop I have ever heard of.

If you sue, and have to "prove" that the neighbor was negligent, then that would likely need to consist of multiple “written” communications from you, the city, or an arborist to your neighbor stating that you/they feel the tree in question is diseased, appears to be dead/dying, is overgrown and posing a potential threat to your property, etc.

As mentioned your biggest challenge is going to be selling the package at/close to same time.
