To name a few issues indicated; units have a known history of water management issues related to workmanship detailing, soft/weak spots in the wood laminate flooring, damaged vent caps on the roof, water leakage in all 3 of the units, condensation observed dripping from main water service, with staining.

Honestly Zillow is by far the most popular site for rentals, it’s probably a little overpriced, D.C. rents are a little soft atm.

Considering we have not seen the move down yet and most people think there will be no recession or a soft landing when the market realizes the economy is going down that’s when you load up on properties.

Your DTI goes DOWN with each rental purchased and rented.I know this org/guy does it write;  Vance Blew at swbc.com PM me for direct contact.True the commercial/soft money/portfolio (now a generic term) lenders are DSCR based, but 70% LTV, at most 75% LTV, 7%-9% so high interest and a few points for expense. 

This soft also helps out with getting tenants to contact you via the app/software for repairs etc. 

Account Closed - You'll have to check with the lender but I believe they only do a hard pull the first time, then soft pulls once per month after that.

In fact as a dog person myself I almost prefer the type of renter that has a soft spot for animals.

Nevertheless, it is important to structure the deal properly (equity, debt, cash flow), and understand the proces (entitlements - zoning, soft costs, hard costs, and build out costs - specific requirements for your pratice vs a traditional office building). 

I was always kind of a soft sell kinda guy, and pretty good at reading people and adjusting my own behavior and words accordingly.

I completed three evictions in the past year, so I don't think I'm soft.
