The biggest waste of time I had as a broker, was suggesting properties to the potential buyer, and only afterwards hearing that they had this or that criteria that made this property a no go.Make clear, in as much detail as possible what your ideal property is, and secondarily, what you would buy.

Get use to hearing that and do not take a "no" personally.Good luck to you! 

You can generally perform a no-cash out refi immediately upon closing. 

I made the same argument at first as well for someone with multiple rentals (As I do for like...home office deduction, if you're managing 5 rentals, collecting rents, screening tenants ect...I am comfortable taking that deduction- I was going to apply same here but saw a no aggregation wording) 

Each deal looks like a no brainier,14% interest 2 years 50% or greater equity.

Try it again.Lately , California Realtor Association even has a no loan contingency meaning it is buyers problem if loan does not get approved.

If  this tenant shows up at the property or threatens you , call the police,  you can contact a lawyer to seek legal means such as a no trespass order to keep them off the property. 

Since they were existing tenants and you do not have a no pet policy it is not a issue of denying the pet but rather whether the pet fee applies.

thats my heart burn.along with folks that get into this thinking its a no money down get rich.. those tend to not intentionally get into trouble they are just under capitalized and so they get into a deal with little money out of pocket thinking a 100 dollar a month delta is great.. first time renter does not pay and they have to evict or renter does major damage they no longer have the funds and the seller ends up in some bad position.then you have sellers that do this and want to buy another home and since the original mortgage is still on their fico they have a hard time explaining it or meeting DTI. 

You have to be able to turn in a "no" into a "yes" over the phone, not just take information.
