More then anything I feel bad for the owner because he is not going to have enough security to cover what a puppy "could" do in damages.We all know about professional tenants and this will just be another way they can  take advantage, I know some people do need the companionship of an animal to make life better and I can see an owner who does not allow pets that now has to let one person have a pet and that is fine but we should still legally be allowed as landlords to get security for an untrained animal in my mind.Of course these are all my personal opinion not professional, I have never broken the law (other then speeding lol) and I never plan to.Thanks for letting me vent on here folks, as all of us should we use this forum for help and you all gave me things to consider.

Personally, I'd rather be stuck in front of an untrained guy with a loaded gun than a guy with a knife and some skills...even someone with average knife skills is likely more dangerous than an untrained person with a gun (in my opinion -- I'm sure others probably disagree :).

Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not considered service animals.The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual’s disability.

If marketing a house of which you are not the legal owner (i.e. not on title) is illegal, then that is true of an "unlicensed broker" or a licensed RE agent that does not have a listing agreement with the owner (unless the sales contract is somehow a substitution for the listing agreement - which I cannot see being true since a listing agreement gives an agent permission to list on behalf of the owner and to act in the owner's best interest but in a wholesale transaction, the agent is acting on his own behalf and in his own best interests).Again, I see a lot of arguments about unethical behavior, untrained/naive newbies, "unconscionable profits", etc. that again is not inherent to wholesaling without an RE license but is just the result of bad practices that can be found in any activity/profession. 

On the one hand, it's helped to weed out many of the bad elements we had in the industry. overly aggressive loan products, untrained strippers as salespeople and 8 points before we hit Section 32 to name a few. 

Most untrained agents are working for a larger commission based on death benefit.

The closing costs may be correct but your ongoing maintenance is way to low (27% of gross rent) even for my untrained and inexperienced eye.

I found an abandoned property that would make a great BRRRR 4-plex, and the only thing I could see from the outside was that it had what looked to my untrained eye like foundation problems.I left a note with the owner, and he reached back out to me a couple weeks later and said he's willing to talk -- because the entire back wall fell out. 

@Michael Haas definitely plenty of inventory to my untrained eye in the area but pretty unique for the condition of the place.

This leads untrained and unprofessional people lying directly to sellers not taking into account they are messing with peoples lives......they are basing their whole business model on unethical behavior.
