Make sure they are hedge style trees that grow tall and narrow. 

Hi John, if the seller's title company is the most reputable in the area and you have an open line of communication with them, when the listing agent, seller's lawyer, and title company have told me there are no liens it's clear, and I can give the title company the liens exceptions list from auction.com "Most liens are removed after a foreclosure property sale, but certain liens may remain.Here are some examples:Any lien recorded on title prior in time to the foreclosing mortgage.First Mortgage (if the foreclosing mortgage is a second or third mortgage)HOA or COA assessment liens (in certain states)Mechanic’s Liens (in some states)Government liens such as state and federal tax liens, city or county liens, US Government liens.IRS liens (IRS may buy the property within 120 days after sale at the price paid at foreclosure sale)Code Enforcement Liens, Environmental Liens, and Utility LiensChild Support Liens"to make sure the title insurance would have coverage for these exceptions, the list from auctions.com, would it still very worrisome to use their title company?

But in those better areas most of the turnover costs is just tenant damage and wear and tear which you will have anyway.That style of floor plan could be under a hundred K to build but watch the quality.So unless your build quality is high to justify the high total cost why not buy existing and just move the lots at a profit?

If your property or your management style isn't a good fit for her, do what you can to encourage her to leave on her own.
