Another challenge is the large trees in the front.

The neighbor is now sending me text messages about a tree that is hanging over the fence. 

Helene dropped a massive tree on one my properties in Greenville SC.

Trees get bigger and inflation keeps their value growing.My point above is you and I and everyone else have a different perspective on if there is a crash coming or if it is a good or bad thing.  

The roof had to be repaired bc a tree fell on it during a storm and the roofing contractor's tarp blew off during another storm and that's how water got in, which the tenant has acknowledged.

In my case, since my property is inaccessible they asked me to just pay whatever I need to pay to get the trees removed, driveway rebuilt, and other remediation - and keep the receipts. 

I keep portable AC units for tenants to borrow, so are using one of those to cool the bedroom.I have at least 20 trees down at one property with land and they missed the house but landed on my storage building. 

Checked in with one of my clients in SC/Augusta area.. and they are good lost power and  6 of her homes got some tree damage but nothing serious.. the project we are doing together was not affected. 

If the appreciation and rent growth lag inflation, the value and income of this property are actually decreasing.Below is a decision tree I created which I hope will provide some guidance.

Slow growth wood yields much more heartwood, which is the longest lasting part of the tree, whereas sap wood (new growth wood) will rot very quickly.
