The second one a large (10 foot diameter) oak tree on the property line between my and a neighbors back yard fell on my house during a wind storm. 

Based on this, can a tenant smoke outside in the porch and in the back yard by claiming that outside or the front porch is not "the apartment" and not the "premise".

@Yesenia Huerta@Michael Plaks is right in your backyard.

Here's a short list where I get discounts:Carpet cleaning Pest control Plummer Electrician Roofing company Air conditioning and heating company House cleaner Pool service Lawn care Flooring and carpet store Fencing company And a few handyman companies There's a bunch more but not really investor related so I won't list them. 

I need a better pool, any suggestions would help!

We have a duplex in Fort Worth area which has a tough tenant pool so I would like to screen more tenants if possible. 

If/when you want to sell the property, you'll likely have no comps and a very small buyer pool to work with. 

and ideally your CapEx will be zero for a while as well, allowing that pool to build up. 

Two major real estate policies president Trump is supporting - Negative rates - (trump directly tweeted today)- Fannie/Freddy restructuring - ( more of administration support)These are two MAJOR influences in the market, I see there being pros and cons of both curious on opinions on how this influences/impacts values/buyer pools etc

After you're done amending the agreement to fit your needs (changing the word apartment to house or taking out the section about community pool if there isn't one) you can get a lawyer to look it over.Stuff you won't be thinking of: Something is always going to sneak up on you that you didn't think of so just be prepared to adapt.
