You tilled and wheel barrowed all that dirt in 5 hours ............at your age . ( I am 53)I start chuckling and said there were no "guys" just me and walked him around back and he saw the tractor ,  Hell no , I like big toys .Then he tells me he was getting prices from landscapers in the $ 3000 dollar range and they told him it was a 3 or 4 day job.

Let's say you waited until after the tenant moved in to take care of that tree and their car is parked in the drive way or in front of the house, or has toys on the lawn, whatever, and a limb, whether big or small,  falls on their property, bingo you've got a lawsuit.Tenants may say they had to move due to you doing the repair because of the smell or the dust going on or the inconvenience.

Like a toy box with parts and train cars of different size trains, you can pull parts out and build your train set, but only certain tracks and cars will fit, you can't just use any part and make it work. :)    

Hi @Patrick Toy and welcome to BPSeems normal, I checked into a few companies when I first moved to Vegas and they wanted 8% to 10% and then I think the rental fee was one month's rent ($750 to $850 for me).

If anyone has ready Terry Goodkind's "The Faith and the Fallen" then all this "approval by X committee before going to Y committee, then Z committee, then pay a fee to each of them and wait a month" thing is eerily similar...

It just so happens I stumbled across this whole sale investment company, and I got involved...I was like a kid in a toy factory out of my mind with joy, it was like riding a bicycle on the phone making deals, going out looking at properties, building relationships with buyers, sellers, agents, brokers, ect... after, really my first month I knew I had to start my own company... however I stayed with the company for 7 months, and decided now was the time to do my own thing, I know the game, I also know I have so much more to learn, if I built a thriving wholesale investment company once before I can do it again.

@Bob Bowling Bob, you enjoy toying with people don't you?

Have a great day today, stay laser focused on your most important goal for today!

Boats and toys, too.  

With an FHA loan you can do this with only 3.5% down. i think that if you are toying with the idea of buying a home, then it'd be a good idea to go ahead and work with a Lender, just to see what price home you can actually qualify for.
