@Tyler WinchellMain issue was inexperience and biting off more than I could chew.

Of course, the dog may still damage your property (pet urine, chewing, etc).  

Animals that dig, scratch, bark, chew, and bite, are almost always owned by high-risk tenants.

Hi Fergus,If you can handle the workload thats going to come with building the two duplex's, I say go for it.If your going to be biting off more than you can chew, liquidate.It really depends on your risk tolerance at this point.The construction loan is a doable deal as long as you have solid credit, have experience /hire a builder.

It's easy to fall in love with a charming fixer-upper, only to realize you've bitten off more than you can chew.

Biting off more than I can chew?

Otherwise, you'll get posts from folks that just want to post and carry on some rag chewing session. :) 

The Realtor part… I feel the State would chew you up if they got wind of this!

Mice don't chew perfectly round holes - that was made by a drill.I couldn't possibly get rid of this tenant because then I'd lose all the stories.

Found a potential deal today Before I get chewed up and spit out, I'm just putting this out there, I'm a Cherry when it comes to investing.
