I have a huge (100+ year) ash tree that I need removed along with some trimming of other trees that hang over one of my properties. 

Househack, pay little down and cashflow on that or live for free depending on the market and the units, and then worry about the loans later IF your chosen investment strategy allows for having large debt hang over your head.  

Yes you don't have to live somewhere to be licensed there, that is why many people are licensed in multiple states, dues vary by realtor association, brokers are usually free until you complete a transaction, unless they have a desk fee or something like that, but that kind of stuff is old school pre-internet hangovers in many places.

In Oregon were land is so hard to develop we just did not have that huge amount of hangover or bank owned inventory and it cleared through the system pretty fast..

And then you hang over his head that he might go to jail and pay a quarter million in fines.

My last few all nighters gave me one hell of a hangover!

That happened to me one time after I called law enforcement to do a welfare check on the tenant - I couldn't rouse her to the door, she was asleep with a hangover and her two young daughters were outside alone, skateboarding on a stolen skateboard in the middle of a busy street, barefoot on a cold day.I had tenants call me an "angel", after being there for them at a difficult time.

Thanks again for all of your input.Hey Ethan,I still have 1 hangover prop in WI (Milwaukee area) right now.

Just make sure no branches hang over your gutters and keep an eye on them to make sure they don't get too clogged.  

Front is half brick and all new vinyl siding,themo pane windows,new doors and most proudly its sporting a hangover,,,more specifically eaves and soffits,and rakes(end gable eaves).After all your advice going to look at some 6 panel pine to paint white, oak seems like a waste to paint.
