Typically drought-hardy rootstocks like 1103P or even own-rooted vines.

Not coming after anyone directly over here but in general the people rooting for a recession need to do some soul searching.

So, I think if I were in your shoes, I'd save up money to invest, work on repairing your credit, and most importantly identify and fix the root cause of what got you into bad credit in the first place (you'll need to be real honest with yourself for this).

In addition, clearing the land exposes it to winds and removes the roots that hold up adjoining tree; in the winter storms, this could send a massive tree crashing down on my property, potentially destroying the cabin that I've spent the last year rehabbing with my own sweat equity.

The exterior of the duplex needs repainting and both the A/C condensers are completely unleveled on their soft pads from a rising root system from the tree in the backyard. 

@John Thedford hatred and fear are usually rooted in ignorance :). 

Sounds like you have a nice house in a nice neighborhood that will rent well.And to your last point...even the most thorough screening will not root out 100% of problem people but it sure helps.

We had to switch from Buildium because they had a deeply rooted accounting issue in their code.

Put a 5 gallon bucket with a tiny drilled hole at the bottom edge at each tree and fill the bucket with water twice a week to encourage deep roots.  

Side note: I have sent letters to the husband/wife team and have received response, but you may find that in the beginning they may call because they want to get rid of the property because of the rooted memories that are left and most times children have already left and they are by themselves.
