Here are the last 2 ways you can try:Full stalker mode - "Drew out his entire family tree from Intelius" lol @ Lloyd Stanton, it worked for him but I've never done itStick a sign on their property saying you want to buy the home

The second citation was for a tree that supposedly was ours and was touching a neighbor's roof, but dummies didn't realize that the tree actually belonged to the said neighbor, not us. 

Each of them had different family members from different sides of the family tree who were interested in selling.

@Svend W. your lease should have clauses that describe what happens when there are unpreventable situations that prevent occupation (like a tree falling on the house, or pipes bursting)--this clause should be designed to limit your liability in such situations. 

Try planting trees that will eventually block the neighbors backyard from your view.

You may want to rattle some trees you might be able to pick up some deep discounted mortgages  :)

ahhhhh... so confused, i just don't want a tree to fall on my investment and i lose everything.

It could have been from a neighbors lawn mower, kids, a tree branch, even a hard wind in some cases.

Just like some of the big time loggers I know not the sharpest tool in the shed but multi millionaires because they know how to build roads cut down trees and get them to the mill and they can handle the rough around the edges loggers. :)

I plan to carry out the family business of the Tree nursery that has been in my family for 3 generations.
