Couldn't see it but window had something like tree sap or maybe she drove past the highway strippers. 

Lot slopes and trees can mess up your day as well as soil quality and proximity to waterways.3) Permits and what order those permits are required4) Budgets - the more accurate you can be before you spend, the less hair you will pull out.5) Financing schedule - getting the money isn't so hard as spending it properly.

Tree maybe, actually contacted us and tried to get us to pay off the 2nd mortgage, even after I told them it was discharged in the bankruptcy.

I think you might be barking up the wrong tree with this one.

Does the tree hang over the property line onto your property?

The home is abandoned with overgrown trees and shrubs.

@Eric BelgauI have some good contacts for tree harvesting if you are in need.

And even the best property managers don't really look out for long-term maintenance issues, like painting door frames before they rot, trees growing through the deck, etc.

So a house I'm looking at for fix/flip just had a tree fall on it during a big storm.
