About this time the other tenant walks out of the kitchen with a headless, skinned carcass of a squirrel.Knowing that it would not be an odd question considering the extremely small country bumpkin town, I asked if he shot it out of one of the trees on the property.

Just wondering if this is what others have found and if there are other solutions besides split systems which, as I stated above, haven't quite caught on yet in my neck of the woods.

Don't judge a cart of apples based on what the seed cost to plant the tree.

If I'm complicit in a meth lab and a tree falls on my house, I might have some legal challenges, but the insurance would pay the claim.Because there's a gray area, and because there's a lot of flux, each carrier is handling this issue differently.  

Thanks Mike, i was on a dozer in the summer time stripping trees and vegitation.

Next a tree branch fell and suddenly I am looking at taking down the whole tree since it appears to be dying and dangerous.

From the looks of it you might have to take out a few trees or bushes for this?

Specify what tenant responsibilities are, like reporting issues, keeping others off the property who are not invited, keeping the property clear of trash, inoperable machinery and personal items when not in use, keeping the grill out from under trees, shrubs and away from structures.

The more work a developer has to do upfront the less of a purchase price you get.For example a seller selling a piece of land zoned residential with a house on it.The developer will have to level the house or have it taken away, clear off all the trees and brush, then grade the land to get it site ready along with putting in horizontal improvements.Before they do all that not only will they need to get zoning changed but have their site plan approved with density needs, access points, etc.All of that a developer wants approved before they buy as their price to the buyer is based on the developers highest and best use in their projection model once finished.

A short sale seems like your best solution.
