A tree fell in a wind storm and took out a section of fence.  

Shade trees?

In a tree?

Last time we stayed there in an Airbnb in someone's place near one of the lakes, the owner told me that he bought the lot next door for the price of removing some dangerous trees.

My 2 cents - if bookkeeping is not your cup of tea then hire someone. ----- ASK yourself where am I making money?

I sell divining rods that not only find water but also points out the best places to plant your money trees.  

Frank are hiding behind every tree watching everyone who is doing owner finance deals.

There are a few reasons I can see someone not using it i.e. they are relying on appreciation (not my cup of tea), they look forward to equity build up and loan payoff, or maybe they are seasoned investors that know their maintenance and management keeps at a certain percentage.

(if you are design-challenged, please have a woman/designer give you advise: it will pay long-term)--also make sure your house/units smell wonderific/seasonal (apple cinnamon/santal wood/ebony)-a welcome package would set you apart also (less then $10 at dollar tree supplies: toilet paper roll, cleaning paper roll, toilet plunger, cleaning brush, cheap shower liner, soap dispenser, all-purpose cleaner container, couple garbage bags) + box/pack of water bottles in the fridge-you do not need to buy stainless steel appliances, but do make connections with local used appliances store (they may have warranty in place, and know the appliances which make do /resists in the area). use white or black, simple and reliable type-find out which appliances tenants usually bring with them in the area-DO NOT implement the Section 8 Bible books advises (but do read the books).

It's seems that it is going to be a tear down because the grass and trees are practically covering the house and it is falling apart (think something out of the walking dead).
