Its location was barely a threat to the house even if it fell in the worst possible way, but my tenant worries about things. She's a great tenant and I was having some other trees removed anyway so I had them cut off the top.

It's even less of a threat to the neighbor's house, but the tree seems to shed small branches that fall in my yard.

As crazy as people are anymore who knows? They could park on the side of their yard and put a branch on their car and say I damaged it. Who knows.

Removing the tree:

* Eliminates risk in a storm

* Eliminates potential issue of roots damaging the drain field (though this would have been an issue decades ago)

* Eliminates maintenance trims

Also good terms with the neighbors means they'll likely allow me access to their backyard when I need to stain/seal the fence, and our yards have a line of railroad ties at the boundary, mine from the previous owner. I want to remove them and have a load of topsoil dumped so I can just make a smooth decline with no barrier. It will be easier to do this if the neighbors are friendly.

I can't top the points you made here. It may hurt your feelings that are rooted in principles, but seems like extending an "olive branch" is a win-win situation in here.

I would probably cut the tree and make sure it never grows again.

Have you ever had to pay to trim the tree? Does it have a reoccurring cost?

Also, it sounded like you had some concerns about potential liabilities from hurricane. is it worth a lawsuit?

You can look at it from an economic point of view, risk vs reward or socially.

We probably need more trees not less.

Would you mind citing a source for your comment about lending?

@Charles Seaman

The biggest issue you would have to deal with is the cost of repairs associated with high turnovers since military people move a lot. Specifically make ready repairs.

Also what the guy in military uniform said was legit.

Military towns are usually good for rentals

I believe that my seller is about to be in breach of contract based on what was agreed to be repaired per contract. I can't go into the details. The seller might even be a member of this forum. Any recommendations for a lawyer in DC?

Forgive me if this post is in the wrong section

Thanks.

Waco, TX...

I Would recommend double checking your sources.

Baylor is probably the only University in that area that draws a significant number of outsiders.

Keeping the same property management shouldn't even be an option. Also, I will suggest getting rid of them before renting out the property.

Call Lowes or Home Depot. They will sell and install the carpet for you.

One of the sad things about this business is that most of the time when a Tennant moves out, their deposit is hardly enough.

I like your optimism and I hope you are right but I doubt it. Just look at the global data, things are slowing down.

Consumer's sentiment in the states has also started going down.

The biggest issue that I see is that the Fed is trying to alter the natural cycle by cutting rates now. when the recession finally happens what would they do??

They should have just let the pull back happen
