When I listed concerns of flagrant lease violations, gone unchecked (derelict vehicles, unregistered large breed dogs who are not picked up after, garbage scattered out in the yard, piles of debris; old tires, tv, kitchen sink, broken wheel barrow, all sitting out in plain sight for a month or more), wash machine drain hose running out a window and draining into the lawn.

Keep this ***** growing, you'll stay busy and you'll own some of the best stuff you can in that monetary range.

Keep posting on BP and network with as many people as you can in your area and you'll learn a ton. 

German Shepard's and many other breeds such as Malmutes have a tendency that one barks, they all bark till they get tired and then it stops.Last of all this is a cabin in the woods, the guy has every right to be there, with his dogs, and do whatever he wants while he is on his property.

Totally agree, and I should add I don’t envy Scott’s job, he’s doing the best he can in a frankly really tough both media space & the rates hikes I can’t imagine have been good for traffic, I think the other thing I should add is I don’t mind people on bp profiting off their work or appearances on bp so as long as they are able to also bring good advice add value, if Dave wants to give great 1031 advice and than charge people for his time great!

As a new real estate professional it was imperative to me to be able to learn from successful people as well as be in an environment that breeds success.
