ESA can literally just be any random dog picked up at the pound with no training. 

Nothing more important than pounding the streets and finding vendors doing actual work... 

I hauled 10,000 pounds of stuff left in house and garage to landfill.

I would tell him to go pound sand.  

I paid approx 32 thousand pounds sterling for the house including full renovation, but itobviously isn't worth that at the moment, I think they were a bunch of cowboys, although in the long term hopefully it will work out.

typically the lower the price the more unwanted location and run down properties.

I have been chasing my tail to get any of them to respond to letters with requests for information, tracking them down in person, Any ideas to get these tenants to sign a lease without coming off as a 300 pound gorilla?

The only hang up is that I have a dog (25 pound dog).

Is it normal to see people who want to divest themselves quickly of unwanted property like this to list at something like 10% below appraisal?

But now I'm on my own since those markets have recovered and I can't pound the ground to find my own.
