It's very difficult to do it in CA because of the way the market is and the big dogs who are your competition.

Plus I walk my dog a lot so I really get to learn the blocks well.

They had 3 dogs, so I will clean the property, then get them the hell out of my life and continue on my RE journey!

I've leased many times so know what to say to tenants - the pet discussion was thorough and often - we even delayed signing the lease as i was told by Mr tenant that his wife may want to buy a yorki-poo - (I was ok with it at the beginning but my policy is a higher deposit and I meet the dog) he finally tells me during our leasing process he does not want a dog and is deadly afraid of them and they will NOT have a dog in the house.The PM i'm partnering with in my business goes over today to do a property inspection - they hid the pitbull but the Yorkie-poo was found in the downstairs bathroom with a kennel and pee pads (meaning it's not potty trained) - I despise these little dogs as they will piss all over the carpet and since they're so little the tenants wont care or find the mess and clean it up. 

I'm an old dog that has been paying on my til deaths for a long time, a lot of them paid off altogether. 

If the tenant has cats or dogs, use the pleated ones and change them every 1 or 2 months.

I am happy to drive for dollars, but that will involve one of those Google self-driving cars and a guide dog trained to sniff out potential deals.

@Jamaal Johnson I started finding deals for other investors as a bird dog then as a wholesaler.

From a cashflow perspective this looks like a dog unless those Airbnb units bring in a couple thousand on a regular basis.
