I want to remove a tree that is hanging over a rental property to prevent any future damage.  

Further guidance from US Dept of Treasury released on Friday.https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm53...link to PDF at bottom.......In skimming it, here's some notes that are not 'CPA proofed' but what I'm gathering:Seems that a maximum committed time is communicated - in other words, 10 years is the minimum holding time to get the preferrable (0%) capital gains treatment during a sale event - but there's guidance now to indicate that 20 1/2 years is the total time that the treatment (at a minimum) will occur, so as I'm guessing to prevent a future change and not encourage a situation where everyone wants to sell their assets/businesses, etc right when the 10 years kicks inSeems there may only be a 6 month window to place funds / earmark funds as available for an opportunity fund. 

The house is not zoned for multis and the zoning officer said that may prevent us from converting the property.

However, does anyone know of a software that I can use to upload leads from a spreadsheet to a website that can auto-dial phone calls to prevent down time in between calls?

We are moving as far as we can but with two full-time jobs and kids, by the time we get in touch with the agent, she sets up visit, go see and figure out rents in the area to ensure numbers add up...someone snatches it.I read some investors make offers site unseen - and then inspect the property and back out during the due diligence period if we see problems on inspection.We haven;t done this and as beginners, feel rather uncomfortable with this "shoot first, ask questions later" strategy; but if this is what it takes to prevent yet another good opportunity from slipping thrugh our hands then I guess that's what we'll have to do.Regarding the "Fair Housing" aspect, we don't intent so state anything or discriminate against anybody.

I will most likely create a website for myself and implement a PPC ad which directs potential sellers to my site.

The conversation about mold in the home and how to prevent it and how to report it should happen at the time the tenancy begins. 

The down side are the fees and the rules that a broker would implement.

If you pour leveling cement and then try and use an angled flooring nailer, I would suspect the cement would shatter and chips would prevent the flooring from being flat on the subfloor.

And as a preventive measure, we switched out all the water valves in the houses as the old ones were visibly corroded and such.
