Hang in there and keep it up!  

It is approximately 50 ft tall and the lower branches are now hanging close to / touching the metal roof of the house. 

But there's some complications that can hang you up.  

I have read some books and have been hanging out here to get educated.

I have never had issues and many agents hang their license just to buy investments.

I am interested in connecting with other investors in the area to better understand the area, share stories (good or bad) and hang out.

Never say never, real estate is forgiving if you can hang on and if your time horizon is long enough.I have heard of builders increasing the cost and asking buyer to pay more at delivery, but it depends on your contract. 

How can I start my real estate journey with this initial obstacle hanging over me.

If you start making mistakes and pay for one property's repairs with the LLC of another property, you have pierced the corporate veil and likely would have your LLCs thrown out if a lawyer tried to get past their protection.On the other extreme, it doesn't make sense to put all your eggs in one basket. 

Or is there some kind of hang up I’ll have when trying to buy it as a primary but there are active leases?
