Some of his tenants have been renting the same location for decades (mostly warehouses but also a few Fed-Ex buildings, a concrete plant, and a few others). 

Do you have the area around the foundation clear of plants and grass for at least two or three feet?

Are there protected plants, trees on the property which will not be allowed to be cut downTypically there is allot you should research first before ever buying a property that involves a building lot to be sure you will be able to do with the property what you envision.

You don't need to break the bank buying tons of plants and trees and whatnot; just have him mow it nicely, edge the sidewalks, trim the bushes, and cut out a few flower beds.

Some of our favorite areas to invest in are: - Hueytown and Pleasant Grove: Though the latter is a little more rural (not necessarily a downside in AL) both are conveniently situated between Bham proper and Vance, so people that work at the huge Mercedes plant but want to live a little closer to a real city often choose these areas. - Centerpoint and Roebuck: Though the comparable sales here are good, which pushes prop values up.

I have been attending the Tropical REIA for more than a year now.  

I'm wondering if I should add to the bill, the cost of removing and planting a new Palm tree (or a concrete bollard).Any further suggestions.Thanks,Dean

@Vincent Plant I may be wrong, but i think there may be a disconnect with your use of the word Cash Flow.

As long as its 2 different heating plants ,it should be 2  tanks

Something she would readily grasp and provide a different perspective such as: making these sacrifices now will allow us to have money later so we can go on those awesome tropical beach or European vacations.
