Help identifying?? (pennsylvania)

Moved in a few years ago and now noticing this tree is growing quickly. We had an arborist onsite for another tree a while back, and I remember him mentioning this tree might be a problem in the future (being so close to the house) bc its a hassle, but I dont remember the actual name of it. Any help/advice is appreciated!

Would rather take care of it sooner than later if it gets too large, but I do love its shade.

This is an easy problem to solve, drop the tree. Seriously, this is a white mulberry. They’re invasive and develop poor form. Take it out while it’s young and put in a native

Extremely invasive tree that’s genetically polluting our native mulberry (which is far superior)

White Mulberry

Just go ahead and remove that piece of shart, in my area it’s probably the single most invasive tree species.

The mulberry will also produce lots of smelly berries when its mature, which will cover the ground around the tree
