personally I would start by being a bird dog.  

She also got a dog while we were in the process of purchasing the duplex.

We refuse as you know... that's not a thing, not able to fully inspect the unit.Almost as soon as they leave and windows are shut, we notice a "wet dog" smell.

I would stay away from lots of boarded up buildings, broken down cars everywhere, stray dogs running the streets and trash everywhere if you know the place isn't going to appreciate. 

We have been trying to train a young man to bird dog for our wholesaling business. he is in his early 20s and seems to be very interested in doing this for us. he doesn't have transportation other than a bicycle or friends that can pick him up and he also doesn't have a job or any money.

Dogs and cats pee on laminate, hot-water humidifiers leak on it, kids start wet-mopping it when they spill something on it that they don't want Mommy to see, tenants turn off the heat when they go somewhere no matter what you write into the lease, and the stuff swells at the joints.

I have a tenant who is generally a great guy, except that he won't keep the yard clean of cigarette butts or dog waste.

If I fire them, I will also be going after them legally- like a mad dog -  and am looking for equally aggressive legal help.

But I now realize that the text in your post fully describes the way I feel about some people running the regulatory institutions, including the top dogs in Washington.
