Can I deny this person and state that I do not want additional animals in the house?

I've heard of mentees who started cleaning up construction areas on a flip at the end of each work day or picking up supplies at Home Depot and delivering them to the job site.

Obviously I could use the money to buy more more more, but there's something attractive about owning the rentals outright, then saving the additional cash flow to get the next one and so on. 

Anything that actually comes into our possession goes into our tithe calculation.In addition to tithing, we try to give to charitable causes when we can, but we don't do it as often as I would like.

You can also write it off as a business expense and there could be additional tax benefits for energy efficient home improvements.  

Last piece of advice is to raise additional capital because shortages while building ground up can be a painful proposition.

Additional question, the owner's property manager has agreed to deliver the 30-day notice in-person as we have not yet closed.

The important points often glossed over are (1) is the buyer providing their personal guarantee to the seller for the note (2) is the seller maintaining a wrap position so they can foreclose in the event of default and gain ownership (3) is the buyer putting up additional collateral (4) how large is the down payment (5) what is the LTV (6) is this a personal residence for the seller or investment property (7) will the property cash flow and if so what will the cash flow be (8) is the property in a increasing, declining, or stabilized area (9) is the property being sold at market value, or above market value because of the low interest rate of the existing mortgage and (10) how experienced and what is the track record of the buyer, and is the buyer purchasing a property for investment or to live in or otherwise use.
