(urgent problem).

A good way to start is to Bird-Dog for other successful investors in your area.I can introduce you to some of our clients in Menifee area.

Otherwise let sleeping dogs lie.As far as his concerns about only seeing the worst in people he is 100% correct. 10% of tenants are exactly as he describes. 

I currently have 3 dogs; a German Shepherd, Black lab, and a chihuahua, however, something has occurred to me several times already, how am I going to handle me having 3 dogs if in the future my tenants have pets?

Don't waste the money on financing it now, just get your money back out of the project and move on to the next when you can, you don't want to get overleveraged if you are new at this and you never know when you might get stuck with a dog.

That being said, 30 years is a long time, and a lot of people were stupid and did dumb things,  ghetto areas are a dog-eat-dog world, whole different culture... so I'd say... look at his history in the past 5-10 years.   

(I kicked cancers ***😊) I I have been reading books,listening to podcast,and blogs for a long time and have started the work of attaining list and bird dogging to do wholesale transactions.

Going thru a bank/hard money lender to buy a dog to fix up imo is TOO EASY to do, Challenge yourself!

Now when I come home whoever greets me at the door gets the first hug and kiss and sometimes that turns out to be the dog! 

I say it's a dog.
