That way you can deny unwanted pets while allowing the pets that were never the problem in the first place.

If that's the case then there is your answer right there.It seems like most things are leaning you towards selling it if you are worried about being able to afford any unwanted repairs or capital expenditures, and if selling it allows you to get into a nice new house hack (if that's where you go) then you can live for free or at least cut your living expense way down.

Asking questions like this up front, can save you from unwanted surprises down the journey...Cheers!

Well:[1] Could you do this yourself to save  buck (probably not).[2] Would you want to do all of this unpleasant sewage work if you could (probably not).[3] It's done now, and the cost was the cost.[4] How did Coors Beer Bottles get down into the sewer pipe (???)

Or advise them they could put it up for auction (they do that with unwanted real estate) and get some revenue into the government’s coffers.

Unfortunately sometimes unwanted renters slip through the cracks even after a thorough proper background check.

I would make it unpleasant for someone that overstayed their welcome.I have been doing this for about 10 years and have never had any cause for concern about someone not leaving when they were supposed to.I have a fishing team staying at the house that are in a tournament.

If the tenant is paying their rent, is not wrecking the home or other unwanted behaviors why not have them there? 

So, be prepared to adjust your lease to address unpleasant scenarios you experience.3) No one can think of everything (not even attorneys!).

My thought is did the power company put that pole in before the cut, or after.If it was after, perhaps the pole goes extra deep, down through the hilly area and below the ground level of the driveway.If it was before the cut, will a retaining wall be enough to hold back the leverage of a big storm, or will you have a downed pole and a bunch of scattered blocks.Leverage is a powerful thing.Cost to move the pole might be less than a wall, but you still have a septic tank in that hillside.If that starts to wash out, it will be unpleasant, but maybe you could move it somewhere else if that happens.Just my 2 cents.
