She would put the dogs in there and they would bark away.  

I've yet to have a borrower call me because his neighbor's dog has been barking all night long.  

Show him you mean business and his barking won’t stop eviction.Best of luck

You want someone who has to sell.If you're dealing with a seller who's actually going back and forth with you about the price, you're barking up the wrong tree.

But where I invest- a 'bad neighborhood' has a dog that barks sometimes.

there is NO money for buy and holds.. from private investors  97% of the time.. private investors rarely want their money out for more than 12 to 24 months.. so your barking up the wrong tree there.also keep shopping... being new is harming you.. for sure there are many lenders HML who wont fund a first timer.. you need friends and family.. but there are those that will.here are some to check intoLendinghomepatch of landLima oneLendingone..all of those are quite competitive but again they also base their rates heavily on experience which you have none.. your going to have to pay to play.. gain experience for your experience bucket  then your rates will start to lower.. by the time you find this unicorn private lender you will be posting the same thing a year from now.

The second one we bought had a tenant with 2 small dogs in it- they were couped up all day, messed on the floor, and barked a lot.  

One of the more infamous skits depicts a scene of a small tiny lap dog (I'm thinking that's you) barking at an elephant (that's Darren).  

Short version: I have a rural property that is in a very nice area ($275K-500K Homes) but I keep getting reports about how awful the neighbors are--non stop dog barking and other noise late at night.

The biggest problem you have in west Lakewood is someone's dog barking too loud once in a long while haha...
