But, for the rental property, I just called an exterminator and had him spray the yard and the yards surrounding the yard, since I owned them as well.

They wanted $2600/month in the lease purchase.Is there anything salvageable here creatively?

Ours was one unit in a three-decker in Dorchester and the condo fee was very reasonable, probably because it was self-managed and the owners pitched in to do basic tasks like yard maintenance.  

For the little rental back there to give them their own parking spaces without coming through the back yard.  

Central air, fenced in yard.  

First thing I thought of reading the description was roots growing into the main sewage pipe in the yard (between house and street).

Two story, two bedrooms, two one half bath townhouse with driveway, long lot, no HOA, vinyl siding, back yard deck, in Antioch, TN (off of Anderson Lane), about 15-20 minutes to the Downtown Nashville, TN area.

Commercial, besides some 6 plex mortgage, you need to understand business, that industry is even better, if your collateral consists of a 20 ton press brake, you better know the salvage value not just the new price of one.

I've been finding good contractors by going to local suppliers- plumbing supplies, electric, lumber yard - asking who is good and reasonably priced.

People lose their keys, fail to mow their yard, and even break leases.
