Then you go into it with knowledge rather than assumptions.Though I do wonder if you could get the arc-welding tenant to work together with the tree-cutting one and make magic!

@Rich Hupper timber is not universal.. what is valuable out here in the west may not be the case out your way.hard woods are not nearly as valuable as soft woods per acre. simply because of how they grow.think of pine and doug fir trees.. 3 feet around and straight up for 100 feet  and a stem every 5 to 10 feet.. think of Hardwood big trunk big canopy stem every 100 feet plus.. simply no where near the board feet per acre.Its not uncommon in our area to have 50k bd feet per acre were in hard wood country it could be a tenth of that. but I digress into logging minutia that most folks could give a rip about.. but I made millions doing it  LOL.. so there. !

My "handy" tenant went against the lease (which requires my approval on any alterations etc...)..... and uprooted nice landscape  bushes, coz he "planned to replace them with a master landscaping plan "..... he even tried to cut down the neighbor's tree....that's when I got the call from the frantic neighbor. ...too late for my bushes.

I have copy of their driver licenses, SSN, ... and a house full of marijuana trees and when I reported them to the police, “it’s civil matter”.

The second reason is that the HOA is in the 2nd year of a 4 year assessment to improve the community by fixing all the exteriors of all buildings, removing dead trees, repaving walkways and working toward 100% resident compliance with HOA dues and more...

Then lot prices have escalated as there are more regulations every year including endangered species, wetlands, flood plains, hydro-geological studies, traffic studies, and density reductions, that lot prices are often 25% or more of the total package price.

One of the tenants asked if I could have a big tree in their yard chopped down because she thinks there may be a wasp nest.

A friend of mine imported avocado trees.

Right now, there might be clear views but what if there's a couple of poles or trees that are in that view after he takes those photos?

In ct- they often get tree trimmers from down south to clean up after the storms here.
