Alternatively if they all love the deal, that's also likely a good sign.You can get a dog of a property in a crap neighborhood that will yield a 13.6% gross cap (not saying yours is), but that certainly doesn't tell the whole financial picture of how the asset will perform.

I performed the BRRRR on one property with the intent of attracting an elderly couple (which I did and they love the place).

Think I better clarify - this isn't an altruistic attempt to help VRBO 😄, but rather a hope that it might result in a higher overall booking rate if both platforms perform at a high level

I am perfectly fine holding X amount in real estate.If I do see an opportunity another option is to lock it up and sell one of my existing if I think this property will perform or appreciate significantly more.

If you control how they perform tasks, set their hours, or provide tools, they should likely be a W-2 employee, requiring you to withhold taxes and comply with payroll regulations.

its genius really.. most bird dogs work for locals on a performance basis and don't have to pay the investor to bring them deals.. 

Dump the thing and either hang on to the cash while you find a performing asset or 1031 into something that does perform.

Sometimes tapping into that equity for a strategic reinvestment can pay off big.How do you feel about your portfolio’s performance overall?

I do have several S8 rentals, while they are generally performing well, there is more paperwork involved in the leasing and the strict inspections can be quite a pain. 

You can ask (if it's not obvious) what the nature of the disability is and what task(s) the dog has been trained to perform.
