I had a few trees fall on a house, punctured the roof, damaged some framing, water poured in, ... tenant never left while repairs were done. 

Most of my places have a utility closet with a 3 foot pre-lit artificial tree. 

@Joe KoonerIt's easy to get sucked into a deep rabbit hole of research/due diligence and really lose the forest for the trees when you're just trying to find out if your goals are broadly achievable.

Investing in buy-and-hold real estate is planting the seed that will eventually grow into an apple tree that produces apples for the rest of your life.

Scope of Work:Land clearing for 20,000 SQFT of brush, trees, a pond, and a fire pit; re-grade the land, add fill, hydroseed, and black mulch the rock wall before the orchard.Demolition of 1,100 SQFT: 5 walls (two retaining walls), ceiling, flooring, and subflooring.Installation of two 3 ea. x 12" LVL beams and lally columns supporting the open floor plan where the retaining structure used to be.Removal of existing oil boiler, oil storage tank, and existing water heater.

So I'm hoping this isn't just a lesson learned event...but when I purchased my rental near joshua tree, the homeowner was to put in a new HVAC system prior to closing.

It’s a little complicated to explain on a forum, but it’s a technique I use in my appraisal business when working in a tea I haven’t been in over a year or two.

Took a chainsaw in the middle of the winter and started clearing trees on 3 acres.

I'd put in an orchard with different types of fruit trees, possibly a pool, and one of those large chess boards like what is at Santa Monica Beach, where the board is on the ground, and the chess pieces range anywhere from knee high for a pawn, to chest high for the major pieces.I welcome any advice as I've just started my due diligence period.
