I think the reality on the ground is that you are probably fine just doing barment if you want to rent the property or sell to another investor.  

I'm grateful to them for the ideas and little push.

That was two months "into" the four year warranty since the dishwasher had a 1 year warranty already.Since the cost of the new control board was more than I had paid for the dishwasher (I had purchased it through a Black Friday sale), all Lowes did was refund the original cost of the dishwasher; no repair, no replacement...and I lost the remaining 3 year, 10 months left of the warranty.I was supposed to be eternally grateful to them for doing this after having spent many, many thousands of dollars at BLowes for my 16 rental properties.Gail

I have been tempted to buy out of state but don't have any boots on the ground and not sure I could vet a turnkey operator enough to feel comfortable.Where to make my play?

It's fall all the tree guys are still out and some work in the winter. better time to fall some trees because won't damage the ground if its frozen for removal as much, if heavy equipment is needed.Get a couple of bids go on craigslist just make sure they have insurance.Let the neighbor know about the work, if it's close to their roof line and over property line. and ask if they have a tree guy.I'd do the work less trouble in the future and make sure that they give that tree a good trim, 

Hold your ground on this issue, it may be better if she decides to move out anyway from the sounds of it.

I sent my tenants a letter with very detailed info on the situation, the laws, etc and some more ground rules on working with me so we have a better landlord - tenant relationship.
