If not again you would be better off buying your own home and having enough yard/space for all of them but 13 is still way to many dogs unless you live on a farm or own acres of land.I have worked in the banking business and have seen people lose their homes that they rent due to landlords kicking them out with very little warning due to breach of contract or a No pet rule. 

They are now in breach. 

Quote from @Brian Rocha: I'm looking to secure a HML for a fix n flip in Florida and for now and am only looking to secure for the purchase price only and handle the rehab costs myself.

Quote from @Keilon Morton: I am looking to secure my first tax sale and need another investor to go in on the deal.

Security systems are easily outsmarted, that’s the point of the initial visit, to case the joint. 

I understand this is a good way to become financially secure over time and am eager to start.  

In the lease it states that a security deposit of 1 months rent was collected. 

I should have been more clear...I actually have a BLOC with multiple properties securing the interest.

What strategies do you recommend for securing hard money loans for spec builds?

Our lease contains a clause stating the security deposit cannot be used for the last month's rent. 3.
