Only limbs that hang over your property line can you remove.. without his permission.Call power company and say your concerned with the lines in the tree. they may come out to trim and maybe you could negotiate price for removal

More than anything I just wanted to know if it's just him that won't put 20% but will put 50% in or does he not see the hang up I have to work with (no cash, just credit).I mean if it's $100K project, he put in $20K (cash) and I put in $80K (credit).

You sound like a nice guy, we should hang out sometime (-:

Many of the Meet ups are geared towards networking and just hanging out. 

I am sure you have all heard before that you become like the average of the five people you hang around the most.

Honestly, I don't know if there are extra shingles hanging around at this property or not.

I'm trying to get the hang of how things go before jumping in.

I have an active broker's license that I am looking to hang at a smaller real estate brokerage in the Arlington Heights area.  

I have been doing this 10 months and I am not the quickest learner, so believe me when I say, hang in there.  

They certainly aren't going to have a lot of time to sit down with you.You can work with an associate broker, which is just someone with a broker's license that is hanging it under another broker.
