My offer to purchase was successfully accepted in a competitive market, and I immediately found a tenant to rent out the space for a 12 month lease.

And if the yard space was part of the lease I guess it makes sense to reduce the rent a little.

I have reached out to the mortgage company, the agent I spoke with said that the payoff is non-negotiable, I asked to speak with a supervisor and am waiting on a call back.

My point being I've consumed a vast quantity, and variety of content in the rei space. 

This space is also getting competitive, but you could try listing for monthly stays only on Airbnb, VRBO, etc.

Its barking is on and off, but almost every day there are easily blocks of 30-45 minutes when it's barking pretty much non-stop.

And what about the people that are attacked in an enclosed space?

I just started getting into this space and I've been trying to discover the best way to find sellers who are motivated.

If you are cash poor, and can recoup cash from this transaction, it will give you some ammo for the next deal that is going to come in the next 12-18 months.If you were using the space, that would be different, but if you're looking to rent it out, and are stuck without a tenant, you become even more cash poorGood luckGino

These tenants tend to be reliable and respectful of the space—often more so than the varied guest pool with short-term rentals.
