@Erik Baumer she lives there, but he’s like her sub attorney. She’s trying to get the trees even though they may not be hers and they didn’t want to be reasonable and draw a line and be civil. Her gofer (live in landscaper tweaker) said she does not want to talk to me. When someone wants more land, they can’t be be rational about it I guess.

@Michael King haha! Good idea! Seriously, when stuff like this comes up I just start thinking about the next flip and how I can get to it quicker. I don’t care if I have to slap a fence 6” back from the line, but I’m not giving these guys 4’ if I don’t have to..

@Heath M. Yeah, it’s crazy. I thought I was being a good neighbor when they first moved in by shooting the crap with him and lending him my tools, but I guess that blew over when he was in the fringes of getting kicked out. This house was bank owned for sale when we bought this. We’d love to avoid the drama, and will as much as possible, but sometimes it’s unavoidable and you just try to make it quick I guess. Never had more motivation to finish construction quick since we are living in the house while flipping. I think I should have read this guys potential to be bad and kept my distance. Sometimes when you’re friendly people then think you’re safe to screw with.

@Michael King you’re probably right. I hate this stuff because I like to be nice and friendly, but some people only understand mean.

@Theresa Harris that’s right, but it was a darned if I did, darned if I didn’t. It was literally only one branch like 2 hours later and somehow he was spying on me and popped up. This branch was on the tree that’s touching the existing fence on our side. We don’t know exactly what they’re thinking with this paint but they clearly had to walk all over our side of the trees to slap it in there.

@Matthew Paul maybe that’s what they were trying to do. This guy’s a con artist and it seems he’s creating some lawsuit.. or trying to.

@Davido Davido heck yeah, thanks! Checking them out now

@Marc Winter wow, ok I never thought to make sure the surrounding houses were comparable in age. The house I’m flipping now is 1940 and across the street is a historical home built in like 1820. Quite the variety, but you start thinking about appraisal when getting close and I’m too new to this to have figured everything out before doing. Thanks

Is it not worth it to make an old house really nice for flips, or does it not matter if you bring it up to speed? How much can age of home effect end game completed rehabs?

@Carl Fischer that’s a good idea.
