She has paid rent on time and has not been too much trouble...that is until a tree branch fell on her Jeep Cherokee ( late model not worth more than 3-5k). 

When we do what I mentioned its usually not much, a dresser, mattress, etc, BTW, gotta LOVE those violations, the city just keeps making things up,,,,,GOD forbid your leaves blow on your neighbors lawn, OMG, the world is going to come to an end LOL  I just wondered about the storing part out our way technically you required to store items.. myself I just hauled everything to the dump and was self insured if the hold over wanted to sue.. which as you know if they have been evicted they have zero money to sue.. and in my storage facilities we kind of did the same thing.In Cleveland you leave it on the tree lawn until 5pm.

@Cecilia Arnulphi Welcome.You really need some money yourself, for any kind of credibility, start saving.Ever hear - The best time to plant a needed tree is 20 years ago, second best time to plant is today!

Hello, there is a larger apartment complex that shares a border with our property, separated by some trees and a shallow creek.

I’m about to start building a vacation rental in the dessert near Joshua Tree.

If you close on the property and then discover the roof is leaking, the main sewer line is nothing but tree roots, really any major expense, that can easily put a borrower in a position where they do not have enough actual cash to solve the problem, so the property loses value due to deferred maintenance, or the borrower digs themselves into more debt, making it even harder to get another loan to cash me out of the equation at that upper 20% of equity.

Hey Ernie, I seen your post Slack also, I sent you by way of DM the name of the guy doing my brothers drawings for his restaurant (Big tree BBQ) in Pompano. maybe he can help. 

And above all you should have "your own rules" that becomes your own decision tree.

The park is covered with trees and he is paying over 2k/month for this expense.

This is a brief summary of what the property needs:Exterior:remove old roof and replace with new one (Shingles/asphalt)Some serious landscaping (Removing plants, trimming tree branches etc)Partial Painting (Brick/Aluminium siding)New garage doorInterior:Install drywall in the lower level of the house (it's a split level house)PaintingDemo wall between kitchen and living room to make it an open layoutRemodel 2 bathrooms (Tiling, new countertops etc)Panting kitchen cabintes and install hardware, new appliances, tile, and new countertops.Installing carpet on the family room and basementReplace closet/bedroom doors and trimReplacing and installing outlets/switches New water heater Install laminate The total project costs came at 67K (including an 11 % fee or 6,700 the contractor is charging me for running the project).
