Clintonville neighborhood, red hot market right now. 

unfortunately the three people i had come out and look at it said that by repairing the driveway they would likely cut the main root of the tree and kill it. 

Current Zillow estimate is 78k and they still have 4 years left on the option (this one was our first one so we didn’t build in enough appreciation and we will only make around 12k each on it but it got us off to the races). https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/121-W-Harding-Ave-COOLIDGE-AZ-85128/8685741_zpid/So you can see that our model is pretty simple and is attractive to people who want to own a home but are not able to get a mortgage on one right now but they can lock in a price today, plant their roots, and work towards getting their credit repaired.

I always took offering more than 1-2 months rent as a red flag.

We're there any red flags on their application? 

However, I imagine this would raise some sort of red flag, and the bank manager may or may not do something.

I'm late to the party but your original post raises red flags to me.

My property manager is extremely reluctant or just has no urgency when it comes to larger repairs/ maintenance. 1 example: My properties sewer has tree root intrusion and I asked them to get a quote 2 weeks ago, and have followed up twice and got a we're working on it response.

I was rooting for your, when others where trying to "talk some sense" into you! 

Says he can do it Monday (4 days after he sent a camera snake down it) great how ever it has now been 20 plus days and he might show up early next week.Not to mention the fact he took a power snake down the sewer line twice and still manage to miss the root clump 12 feet from the entrance that blocked half the pipe.
