In addition to heartily second Nathan's assessment of your PM, I'll also throw out this:If there's reason to believe that the tenant has abandoned the property then there is a legal protocol for that.If there is reason to believe that someone is in the home who is not permitted to be there then there is a legal protocol for that.If there is a Bald Eagle identifying as a blue alien living there and they are both a protected class and endangered species at the same time, welp there's probably a protocol for that, too.While it would be prudent for you to understand the basics of Tenant Landlord Law implications, you darn sure shouldn't pay someone to manage your assets if they don't know how to handle this and take this off your plate.

If you're putting trees/shrubs down and mulching that is much more.

There are three lots and they want to divide it up and dissolve the llc.My father owns a greater equity of the lots, but my aunt pays half the taxes (which are more than her equity stake).One lot has a farmer on it, the second has trees (to be logged), and the third is a roadside lot (possible house or farm?)

I am planning on renovating all units and doing some exterior work such as new paint color, fencing, and some small tree planting.I guess $112.5k rental units are a great deal in your area.

I do tend to not see the forest for the trees sometimes.

I was brainstorming and couldn't really see a solution besides maybe planting a tree to try to cover up the tallest shed. 

She might be having a hard time seeing the forest (e.g. financial freedom) for the trees (so.many.expenses.).

This is not to say they'll do the job well, only that screwing the job up won't endanger anyone or the house; the worst that happens is the job looks like crap. 

Most who get into real estate investing (or operating) chase low hanging fruit from the tree, they don't really care to know why the tree is there, how it grew, how it produces the fruit, what direction the limbs will grow or to understand that everything comes from the roots. 

We had to plant 3 trees on the sidewalk (added cost of 2.5K)4.
