At age 72, I don't want to plant a whole lot of trees I may never see harvested.** :-)To evaluate your investment possibilities, you may have to replace "General Contrators" expenses  with agricultural, livestock, and timber consultants.Get knowledge, learn wisdom, be patient, don't couch your trust in the government of men.. but, rather in the Creator of this world and the universe Himself."

Tons of tree roots as well.The plumber (and a handful of others I've spoken to) recommends replacing the 4 inch line because that's where the clog originated and because he can guarantee another backup happening in the future.

Tree lined streets, nice yards, but still attracts meth heads like these two losers.

You could center a small flowering tree in the yard on each side of the sidewalk for a little depth as well.

It's designed for little elderly ladies who want to vacuum the rose pedals from the back seat of their Lincoln Town Care at the conclusion of Sunday's tea.

Parcels have a few pine trees and regular trees but not much else.

Says roots from the tree mess with it or something.

I would want the tenant out so I could get the rodent problem under control and get a full scope of the termite damage.That is what I would be concerned with as well as your re-tenant and lost rent costs until you rent the unit out again.Since you own a duplex they have shared walls.You have to make sure the other tenant is clean or the pest control service will make ZERO DIFFERENCE.The reason is even if you put poison down but food is available the pest will leave the poison and eat the food.You have to close off all exterior gaps of the building,keep tree branches away from critters getting in,keep trash in trash cans and away from the building for pick up,clean unit top to bottom,pull out stove and fridge in kitchen and degrease and sanitize.After years of recycling tenants you would not believe what builds up back there that attracts and breeds pests.Good Luck

Chop the tree and move on.Besides, I am not sure that I would want tenants bringing in their own fridge because it may have an ice maker (make sure the one you buy and place does not have an ice maker) and they can be notorious for leaking.

If you are looking for a more "family friendly" type neighborhood that may already be a little more expensive but growing, you may want to check out Lone Tree that is growing extremely quickly due to a number of new companies moving out here, including a very large Charles Schwab HQ.
