By selective cutting trees over 16 inches in diameter, after 10 years have passed there are new trees now over the minimum threshold, that 10 years ago were too small to cut. 

Me personally, I have 2 accounts under the Wells Fargo Advisors tree. 1 account is for a small amount and my specialist gets 1-1.5% in fees each year for managing that account.

We lost a fence to the trees, but were fortunate to not have had a direct hit on a building.  

I agree with Wayne.Quiet Title could be an issue since it won't be all that "quiet" if the people that need to sign stuff are alive and well and already know there is an issue.The obvious solution is to have the same title insurer that wrote your policy write the one for the buyer.

But there is an easy solution to the upfront cash problem if you have a good credit rating.

I have been told the saying "they don't make them like they used to" holds true for trees.  

There is a guy down the street from my shop who has a tree company , original mortgage was $ 425.000  ( bought in 2004 ) he hasnt made a payment in 4 years .

So it is a busy season... contractors often don't return calls. you book appointments with them  and they never show up , or show up gives a bid and then say they actually  booked...I have two properties in Kansas City right now that needs exterior and interior paint job.its about 4000-4500 budget for eachI purchase all paintfinally two  contractors bid and ready to do it but  insist on getting 1000 to 2000 upfront  for each property before they start .I am not too excited paying someone I dont know those amounts.can any of you who are experience in rehabs have a creative solution not to losethose contractors but reduce the risk?

Hard for me to say that, but I'm getting deals, and I'm not sure how to sell them... freeks me out so much I have to work really hard finding solutions. 

Do people know that you are in the business of solving problems, and providing solutions for difficult properties & situations?
