Yes, those trees are on the neighbor's property. 

Any tree-overhang risks?

Paving the driveway, fresh paint or repairs to stairways/decks, adding some landscaping or a tree, and upgrading appliances like washers/dryers can all increase perceived value.

Guess I never paid attention, I just know on some more expensive items I just figure to go in the store (i.e. new xmas tree this year was $600) so worth the few mins extra time driving versus having it delivered to my door to get the 10% discount, but I never calculated if it was actually 10% just paid once they rung it in with discount. 

I’m looking to acquire a vacation short-term rental in Joshua Tree, CA and have been digging into the market lately.From what I’m seeing, the overall market has cooled a bit, but there’s still solid opportunity for properties that offer a great guest experience and design appeal.

My plan 1. build septic mound and system to design2. build pad to extend past HUD for patio3. gravel drive and parking area with washed stone4. have utility water and electric performed by professional - I would possibly dig for water line install and electrical conduit 5. landscape/plant trees etc. 

The best time to plant a tree is yesterday.Best of luck.  

But you can also make tons of money and it can change your life and your family tree.

2.5 years ago a major storm came through the Spring, TX area and knocked a small limb off a neighbors dead tree (see image below) and it feel through the roof.
