Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.

Nights, weekends, holidays, etc.To keep this on-topic, though...DO figure out what's healthy for you to manage but remember it's a process where every experience teaches you good and bad (and be patient with that process).DON'T sweat the small stuff (damage/costs under $50, undisclosed dogs, etc.) but DO find a way to learn, prevent, put in better practices to maintain your sanity. 

As well as coffee shops like Bottoms Up Coffee are moving in and small microbreweries like brew dog and Land Grant. 

Quote from @Josh Otero: Hi BP community, I know you've got some crazy tenant stories and I want to hear it.I'll go first:1) I was managing a 5 story apartment building and a dog fell off the 4th floor balcony because of the owner not paying attention.

During all my tours, neighborhood dogs were barking—not something that bothered me, but it likely distracted from the overall noise.The truth is, it was an oversight, and unfortunately, I’m now dealing with the consequences.

For example, I see newer investors attempting wholesaling or bird-dogging for other investors to generate additional income to invest.

I found a couple that wants to rent the 2b2b home for $1,500 plus $50 a month for two dogs.

Who will drive by to see if the lawn is cared for, or if there are three unauthorized dogs in the back yard?

Purchase price: $560,000 Cash invested: $60,000 I thank the dog next door for leading to this purchase.

OK so basically you were a bird dog and then a contractor for them.
