I was very concerned about a large branch that went right over the master bedroom area of the house.

The only danger in ground leases are when they close to renewal.

@Kyle Rosseau Clearly, you are thoughtful about your property's aesthetics and your future tenants' concerns.

If someone now claims they have under those circumstances, I'm sure they are lying or the judge was related to them or the seller had the dumbest attorney alive.So, wholesaling as it is taught by the gurus has 3 areas of concern, all can cause you a greater financial loss than what you might be trying to make.Now, does that mean wholesaling is dead or can't be done legally, without risks managed, in an ethical manner?

On the other side, there is enough concern about rates going up that there aren't people willing to lend into this space at less than 5% on long term money, especially since debt gets deflated with inflation.

Lastly, do I need to be concerned about short-term exit strategies on a turnkey?  

I wasn't concerned about the quality of work they did because I seen them on another job and the work was good. 

That has been a concern as to how long into 2016 I should wait.

I never would have thought attempting to help a tenant out like this could be a legal concern.

Can you describe the appreciation concern in more detail and maybe describe how a "typical" deal is structured in a pro forma?
