I am trying to get going with RE investing and don't quite know where to go or if I am just a little too ambitious at this time.I recently (last year) got out of the Army and relocated my family of 5 to southern WA to start laying down roots and purchased my second house here, the first is being rented out in AK. 

Seek advice from a financial advisor.Full disclosure: My wife is a financial advisor, so I'm a bit biased.However, to use one of her analogies, I wouldn't be searching the internet looking for advice on how to do a root canal on myself....leave that to the professionals.

Although if GA is the SEC team of a game, I'll root for them for sure.

I have heard mixed opinions on the tree roots.

The apartments look great and weeds are easy to pull because their roots are not deep below the landscape fabric.

In addition, cases where the court set aside the entity were largely rooted in instances of fraud and were dominated by contract law disputes, not torts.Lastly, the Corporate Service Center you quoted actually LIED about the highest rate.

Bob Wieckowski (Fremont – SB 13) to address the root cause of the housing crisis: There aren’t enough homes.

I don’t remember everything I saw on the video, but I can recall: a downspout not finished bringing water towards the foundation of the home (probably causing mold inside too), a pipe somehow through a tree root, doors unhinged, chipping paint every where (here in Maryland you are in big trouble if there is peeling paint in a rental), siding dented, very low grade materials that will need to be changed with the first tenant turnover, among many other things. 

My thoughts would be chemical, even though that will likely kill it back to the roots, on their side (oh well!).

If the tenant's pets or lifestyle is the root cause of a pest problem, then it would be appropriate to charge them for the cost of remedying.
