Having had one done recently with a camera inspection on the main line, the inspecting plumber noted that the pipe had tree roots on several parts of the mainline.

Purchase: $115,500 including closing costsARV comps recently sold (2020): $170-$190KRent:$1100-1200Cosmetic Rehab: $18,000Repairs: $12-15K Because this is sold as-is and is an old property, there are repairs that need to be done such as foundation bracing, sewer clean out (inspector couldn’t get passed tree root build up), load bearing beam replacements in basement, electric panel replacement, gutter/fascia replacement, And a new water heater. 

The missile only works if there isn't roots, etc in the way to change its course. 

In these older homes, it is not uncommon that the roots of the trees go through your sewer lines.

I’ll be sad to lose the place, but I have no roots hereother than that property and my job.

Sharlise Mcduffie I'm rooting for ya!!!

The roots are probably under the house!

Being former military, I'm probably most familiar with the Killeen area, but have also been growing roots in the Georgetown area. 

And don't forget to get weed control products like Preen into your process; Preen requires that the weeds first be removed (it helps to prevent weed seed from germinating, so roots and all of the weeds must go first).  

Fall planting allows the plants to put their energy into developing their root systems rather than top growth.
