Well, on the bright side, I'd rather have a tenant who works 3 jobs than one who sits around watching soap operas all day.  

He comes out yesterday and tells us that the pine tree that was removed in the front yard has roots that have grown into the septic and compromised the integrity of the sewer pipe to the point it has to be replaced. 

However, from the root of what I understand here, I'd just like to leave a note sharing my professional practice in dealing with rentals.

@Kyle Root I've never done a blend like that.

I self-manage my STRs and believe I could self-manage this as well (I have deep roots in the area so lots of people to call on to be boots on the ground), but could always factor in 10% PM fee.2.

It almost seems like it's a wanna be progressive city, but can't quite reconcile it's conservative roots with liberal ideology.  

Has anyone bought a home from them? Their deal is that you partner with them to buy single family homes. You get the mortgage in your name only and they will manage the property. Then you split the cash flow.

8) My experience is varied and almost "soap operatic."

So I've heard of roots getting into the plumbing and pipes, but this is the first I've seen where the roots have intruded into the Sump Pump.Sump pump still runs and turns on but we can clearly see the roots in there. 

You have a whole community rooting for you here.
