This is just my opinion as having no dogs in this particular fight.  

Don't know about anyone else, but I feel like my personal daily battle is between doing what is urgent and fuels my raging undiagnosed ADHD, or what is actually important.I've done a ton of work on this over the past almost 4 years, and still am nowhere that I think I need to be, but I'm at least getting to a level of awareness I don't think I ever had before and that is a win in my book.  

It was off market, I paid a local bird dog $20k for helping to get it to the close and even including that $20k at market rate it met the 1% rule.Today my underwriting would not have a 1% ratio with 80% LTV as positive cash flow in class C.

If you can maximize all 3, then you've also created a very wide lead funnel, which is less common in multifamily properties.Maximizing "pets" means you're removing carpet, allowing at least 2 pets including cats and larger dogs > 50 lbs, access to a fully fenced-in yard or walking distance to a dog park, leniency on breed restrictions (depends on insurance, your risk tolerance, due diligence with pets during inquiry phase), pet friendly furniture (e.g. faux leather couch, low pile rugs if at all), etc.

She's has an enormous dog (lab) at the house so I didn't attempt to go there to post the notice on her door as he had bit someone before.

If the latter you may just be an independent “bird dog” for a wholesaler competing with everyone else. 

At an old saloon on a street of mud, there at a table, dealing stud, sat the dirty, mangy dog...

However, in addition to QC efforts it has saved money, and I will use the following example:A woman checks in with 2 small dogs claimed and paid for.
