“Genius” me agreed to rent a house for them in exchange for fostering a few of my dogs (I run a dog rescue group.)

The owners dog is generally pretty eager to pick up their own poop and the owner of the dog gets the message quickly. 

In return I can offer access to MLS information(Realtor), Sweat equity(maybe you need help in one of your flips), Bird dogging, or even listing any properties for you in return for your guidance. looking forward to connect with the community.

The biggest thing I’d say is to not let the tax tail wag the dog.

(Car crash, dog attack, etc etc.).

Even with vetting guests, they still sometimes break the rules and bring large dogs or have parties. 

If I say I will pat a bird dog for properties I purchase, I do.  

So for you maybe you figure out how to do this and bird dog for actual note buyers and see if you get any traction ..

I never understand people that dog the *voluntary* sites they participate in; if things are so bad around here, why not just leave and go somewhere else? 

I told them puppies and unfixed dogs would be a no-go for us.
