Then the key is that :1) you do active participation and not passive investment (eg: flip, rehab to rent and so on)2) leverage, but here is the key to do able to leverage there's time constrain, that time constrain is spread between notes/Fed Rate with cap rate ; that "window" create sizeable future appreciation of property.3) buy in good location, for example, buy only in DOM market where DOM is less than 5.by doing these three combined then we can always beat the stock market index.This is why if we're using statistical average as passive investment,stock market would better perform than real estate.But when we're the developer or active owners, then we could beat the stock market index. ...Also what's funny about stock market index is that the index is being helped by the top 4% that produces return (in today's example is the magnificent 7), as the number of top 4% keeps changing every decade or so, it creates a phenomenon as well that the best passive investment is always stock market index.

Then the developments happened and the past few years I sold most for 10x what I had in them. sold my last house , my home, in march '23 and left the U.S. for good in April, so, I can travel.Didn't want to pay Swift 3-5 percent to move my money to Europe, so, I transfered most into BTC (bought between 17 and 22k.

That is just my opinion to seek to understand, offer some level of flexibility, and then if there is a pattern of late rent or missed rent swift action should be taken, but it all starts with communication with the tenant.

This will naturally involve expenses, but it could provide peace of mind and facilitate a swift restoration of your unit's functionality.

Even then, the insurance coverage options available are more so positioned for when a loss has occured, so, I'm not sure there's another option to be had here.As already stated by others, I would be taking swift action in removing the tree ASAP.

@Emily McCabeYou need to pay an eviction specialist or an eviction attorney $300.00-$500.00 and move swiftly.  

I'm a great tenant that has had monumentally bad experiences with landlords, so landlords can expect astute and swift responses of me.

To name a few: rent to section 8 and the rent is almost guaranteed, purchase B+ properties - tenants tend to stay longer, have pride of ownership, and pay rent, and, lastly, have a good property manager that can navigate swiftly with the tenants to prevent turnovers, evictions, etc.Whatever you choose, good luck! 

This should pretty swiftly, Id say within 2 years, remove 25% of the competition from the market place.
