The general process is to go to small claims court to sue them for any additional damages.

Unless the professional you called is qualified* to say the tree was an immediate hazard and given the situation, it could not wait to be remediated because property and/or life was in jeopardy, you're going to be on the hook for the removal and could also be on the hook for the replacement of the tree + additional damages. 

I'm leaning towards traditional lending withh the new home builder because they're offering 5.5-5.99% interest rate. 

Hey Becca,Have you looked into Additional Dwelling Units out there? 

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

I really do value your opinions and appreciate any feedback you can offer. 

She's been renting it for $2,800/month and the condo has a $600 monthly HOA.I want to offer her $350,000 for the condo (its a fair price for it), 5% down payment ($17,500) and pay her monthly $2,000 for 3 years, after which I would refinance and pay her out.

They are currently in stage 3 of the development and are offering 10k incentives Builder and 2% Seller(towards buying down the interest or closing cost), home comes with warranty and appliances. 

(Being that most apartment building in downtown lisbon are small and only need refurbishment on the inside no structural repairs needed).Which offer incredible yields both on a rental basis or from a fix & flip perspective.In my specific case I don’t have the required funds available to enter on my own and therefore am looking for seasoned investors who would be willing to enter on a partnership or joint venture to invest (all legal, with written contracts obviously).I have seen people with no money but the right skills and connections for the job be successful at it.

While multi family and new built luxury high rises might be going down it does not appear to affect more desirable properties that offer more space, amenities, better locations.I am in South East in a desirable area.What is your take on rental outlook?
