Columbus has a lot of growth coming, especially in the tech sector (Intel, Google, Amazon, etc) are all laying down roots and will give you good appreciation on your investment properties. 

Then buyer who may want a wooded lot has trees, if buyer not want, then we can cut for them then.We will add the value of the lumber on the lot sale price as wooded lots here are diferent and thus more valuable for the folks who want that product.hope this helps,DeI was going to mention pushing over the tree's to pop out the root ball  that is far cheaper way to go.. out on the West coast FIr is far more valuable than hardwood.. hardwood is darn near a weed.. 

(Hey I was rooting for Denver!

I am here because it is where most of my roots are.  

there has to be some kind of force pushing the wall in, it takes a lot of time to move a wall that far, the last one I ran into was tree roots pushing the wall in, it could also be a stone foundation that is crumbling and has been scratch coated to cover it up, I would suggest getting a pro to come out and dig up outside footing and wall....done mostly by hand due to the fact that you could cause a cave in with heavy equipment.

I can't imagine re-rooting again.  

Familiarize yourselves with the roots of the area.

You're probably closer to the root of boom/bust cycles than you realize.

I have some roots in Columbus, OH and connections in Charlotte, NC so those are two other markets I have considered.

ya that was the point I was trying to make.. we cant understand or know how important not up rooting folks near the end..
