Hi Benjamin,If it were mine, Id have this tree removed and the stump ground down to zero.A tree that sheds like this is not the type of rental experience I want to offer.Limbs are very heavy, and add to that the ice weight, and a renters best friend getting into a car with a baby and they are both crushed by a known limb dropping tree is a lawsuit (and emotional mess) I'd rather not have.Winter tree removal might be cheaper due to low demand and the ability to sell the firewood easier.Maybe a contractor in your area has one of these and can solve the problem in 30 seconds:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?

+++++++If I considered the 65k invested that could have been otherwise invested, then 8% returns would be 5200/yr or 433/moHowever, I'd also be paying down principal rapidly, at about 500/mo the first year and 600/mo by year5, 750/mo at year10.So, that ROI lost for the 65k is coming back to me in equity all along pretty comfortably.

We saw inventory tick up a little bit in September, then decline rapidly through December.

The parcel is beautiful, close to Marquette, in a rapidly growing area.

The main job industry in the area would include the mines, University, hospital, forestry and tourism, the ladder which is rapidly growing.

How you split up the equity will really depend on what weight of importance you want to put on each task of the deal.

I'm in a rapidly appreciating market so I have to be creative with Airbnb to make cashflow. 

With such low rent the area might not be the best and encourage new renters to move.I'm consistently wondering if the rapid inflation translated into tangible profits, particularly in the hold multifamily markets.If anyone has any information to share, I would appreciate it.Thanks,TSH

I would agree with many here that a good property manager is worth their weight in gold if you are in a B- area or worse.

Buy in strong markets, that is growing rapidly, and grow with the equity.
