I have Virginia roots but am based in Colorado.

I have a section on drain stoppages that cite that anything besides that caused by defective plumbing, tree roots, or acts of God will be the responsibility of the tenant and contains a list of the obvious of what not to put in the drain and that tenant agrees to pay plumbing cost to clear stoppages beside the above.

I wish there were a way we could root that ugly element out.

Also go back to all of your BP posts and find a spot on this list for that item/question.Building 1:Category/item           Status           Priority            Estimate ($)       Action:Outside:Landscaping                 Ok                low                   $500                Wait till 2022Sewer                         Unknown       low                    $700                Have snaked and pumped (if septic) in 2023Water lines                  OK                n/a                    $0                   No issues, good pressure, no excessive billsidewalks                     Needs work  medium              $500                Three lifts with roots underneath. 

I am assuming you will be rooting for the right team this weekend (GO CATS!)

Let's say you set up an LLC and put your 50 unit complex in the LLC, and you think you have everything protected like all the books taught you to do and an old lady came by your complex to rent a unit and triple and fell on a piece of root sticking out of the ground, and she sue you and you turn over your insurance info because that is what you have insurance for to protect you.

The root cause here is pretty inarguable.

I feel I can recreate this anywhere but the longer we stay here the more I feel the roots growing as we have two boys (another on the way) and they are getting near school age.

Currently live in Indianapolis but have roots in FW. 

@John Pruner .....poking you to remind you we're all rooting for you and curious how it turns out!
