It was blocking the city’s approval for me to rent out my property, so I coughed up the $700 to remove it.The PM & Landscaping company say that there are other trees at risk for falling, which could hit either my fence or house.What can I do to get ahead of it and push the neighbors to clean up their properties?

We stall development, cleanup current property, rent at market, hold our I/O 2.9% rate for the next 5 years while still locked in and pick back up development when rates fall in the next few years.

Plus in this scenario your value increased with no investment or effort on your part.Worst house-  all you have to do is clean up, landscape, etc now your worst house takes on the value of the neighborhood.  

@Kristina Sparrow,I was just looking around in PropStream, doing some cleanup on a list I'm currently marketing to, and I stumbled across something that might help you.Go in an search on your target area (county, whatever), and then open up the filter. 

They eat fiduciary duty for breakfast and their bm's are all about disclosures (to clean up a phrase).  

Personally, I started out on spreadsheets and then moved to software at the end of the year since it got overwhelming and my CPA was going to charge me a clean-up fee for the spreadsheet.

There's a guy that does this exact same thing here, except he holds the paper and does some minor clean-up before selling to the fruit picker.  

I mention in the disclaimers that I will charge $100 if we have to clean up a pet mess on a bed or couch.

There is also a landscaper coming to give an estimate of how much it will be to clean up the whole front and backyard bc these tenants have basically trashed the place.

. - $1700 (will be completely depleted September because I have a turnover with a new tenant and my prop Mgmt fees take the first months rent - luckily that covers all my costs so nothing out of pocket ) Condo - December 2020 - 1550 (costs are about 660 a month) My old condo in the city - made that a rental - Feb 2021 -1800 - costs are 1400 (have had some minor repairs in the last year so have gone into reserves a few times but keep replenishing)SFH (first out of state investment) - April 2021 - $600SFH (second out of state investment ) June 2021 - $125My general fund is only a few hundred -I have a tenant that is late in their rent (first time this has happened) and it made me pause to think - do I slow down on scaling and build up reserves first to build a cushion?
