I'll bet it can be salvaged. 

Fully expected him to say they are going to do great etc with the demand.Answer was shocking:He is probably not going to log at all.. the Mills have LOWERED delivered Log prices to almost 1980s level .The reason is all the fires here in Oregon have the mills salvage logging like crazy and they have more logs then they know what to do with and they get good stump age prices from the public lands and then private log prices follow that .. so they have a year or so to log like made to get the fire damaged logs in and milled while they are still marketable.

What if you discover a body in the crawlspace or an easement through the front yard?

Lots of the homeowners rent their yards to gator fans wanting to park for football games.

Spruced up the front and back yard as well.

What does the lease state as to how the property/yard can be used and how it should be maintained? 

.***  All units will be getting a fenced in back yard.

We have hauled off 160 yards of debris.

I live in north Hollywood and am looking to build town home units in my back yard for rentals, any recommendations or tips ?

After the family takes what they want I would advertise a cheap yard sale and let people just come in the house and give you some cash for what they remove for you.
