.: @James Hamlingyep - and when a tenant stops paying the whole thing implodes. cant think of a riskier investment  IE  counting on tenants for consistent cash flow.. at least if this is BCD class rentals might work with national tenants on triple net ..

If you sue, and have to "prove" that the neighbor was negligent, then that would likely need to consist of multiple “written” communications from you, the city, or an arborist to your neighbor stating that you/they feel the tree in question is diseased, appears to be dead/dying, is overgrown and posing a potential threat to your property, etc.

Loopnet any deal older than 12 months, Tax GIS consistently late or 6 months past due, any property that changed hands thru probate after 12 months, Texas property tax sales land only not at auction just offlist properties, etc7.

- Hunter@Tim Swierczek Appreciate all the great info you consistently share in the forums related to the MSP area!

Padsplit is a topic of discussion also (STR room rentals), but I think LTR's are a little more consistent with income and a bit less work.

I completely agree that while luck plays a role, consistent diligence is what tips the scales in our favor over time.

I have had previous requests for help with this situation, and that's the advice I consistently offer.

If real estate investors perform these tasks consistently, you make the plaintiff's attorneys job far easier because again they are chasing insurance proceeds and you are handing that over on a silver platter in a way where they are far less likely to care about you personally.What a great answer! 

Real estate is  a difficult business and getting things consistently right is not easy. 

Larger, nicer homes tend to be more expensive to maintain and harder to rent consistently due to high turnover costs.4.What are your other sources of income?
