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. 

It wasn't in awesome shape when I bought it, but nothing major or urgent to fix. 

Now there's only 1 or 2 of them, plus a few males, 2-3 dogs, and there is sad looking traffic going in & out of the house.
