Hi Isadore,You've gotten some good advice from other members above.

I've always gotten a signed "authorization to release loan info" from the owner on record. 

In 2021, I successfully launched an Airbnb, thanks in large part to the amazing advice and support I received from this community.

As anything will have to be authorized before the sheriff does it.

That’s solid advice—I can see how showing up in person makes all the difference.

My advice would be fix the dog, and sell the puppies or adopt them out to a good home. 

If I may, let me offer some tactical advice and then some unsolicited general advice.Tactical advice: marketing to traveling oil industry workers probably isn't radically different than what you have been doing to get your rooms filled with students.

For instance, lenders in SC can offer a downpayment assistance (and a related first responder/veteran loan) program through SC Housing Authority.

If you watched the video I provided in the post It will explain how the strategy works very clearly.also thanks for the advice!

Quote from @Ehrich Roberts: G’Day,Grateful for any advice in relation to mortgage options in British Columbia where liquid capital in combination with rental income would be accepted towards qualifying for a mortgage.
