The property manager asked if we were ok with a veterinarian applicant who is bringing 5 small dogs, 1 regular size poodle and 5 chickens. 

The commercial spot, if bought, I think a plan  is to convert it to just a regular living space of studios or a 2 bedroom apt.

I can handle multiple vacancies and multiple major repairs all at once without touching my regular income, credit cards, or savings.Your reserve may also take into consideration your personal finances.

Do you guys think I’m I going to have issues trying refinance these properties without a regular paycheck?

One suggested signing up for their service plan ($20/month per apartment) which includes one annual boiler checkup prior to the winter to avoid issues like mine and small discount on regular plumbing services (50% off of service call charge of $95 and 10% off labor costs after).Is this something you guys would recommend?

However, I have three other agents that bring me "deals" regularly.

You never go on title or own the property (which is why it is not legal in every state), you are simply dealing with the purchase contract only.And you can use any Purchase and Sales contract for wholesaling since it is a regular purchase and sale.

Yard care is possible, but  my experience is that they don’t care for it regularly.  

There's a group of us who gets together somewhat regularly from BP that @Justin Eaton usual organizes.

Regular people, however, should not be paying their rent up front.
