It seems these tenants may be incapable of supervising or training their dogs in the fenced backyard to prevent this from happening.

I think the trouble I might have with that option is the current condition of the house.

The term “real estate” or “real property” means the land plus anything growing on it, attached to it or erected on it, including man-made objects, such as buildings, structures, roads, sewers, and fences, but excluding anything that may be removed from the land without injury to the land.Krocs genius was own the land erect a building and in that building rented to a franchisee, sell what Kroc created.

I don't about the building aspect of it, but if you can get it done for a reasonable price, I don't think you'd have any trouble renting it out.

Rondo investment cost me a lot of troubles.

I am also on the fence about using their services.

I have plenty of clients who 'make' enough and would have no trouble qualifying, but there is a benefit to keeping liability off of yourself and funneling your debt, et al. through the asset itself.Plus, if you keep it at 1-4 units, most DSCR lenders would still qualify that as "single-family" so you would still be eligible for 80% leverage on purchases and 75% (or sometimes 80%) on refinances. 

But some people do leave them in a fenced yard or even in the home.

Hi all,long time lurker but I've run into a spot of trouble. 

If you follow any of the troubles syndications are having right now, that is a primary problem they're running into - their reserves and cash on hand are insufficient to both repair/maintain the existing properties and maintain required reserves for their debt financing.
