Play offense and defense.

No offense to any guest that has fewer units than I do, but I don’t want to hear about the guy that has 8 units and is happy with that.

The last thing I want (no offense to your practice) is someone writing out LOI terms of a paper towel, signing it, handing it to me and expecting me to equate it to a generally accepted contract that's legally enforceable. 

If you're in a state that doesn't target landlord for the first offense (I think it's a one-bite rule or something) and if this home has acres between neighbors so you don't have to worry about noise complaints or much interaction between, I'd consider it if they provided their own liability insurance that clearly stated it covered the dogs and I could find my own insurance company that didn't have restricted breeds.  

No offense, but this post looks like it's from someone in the 'investor education' business, selling advice on how to get rich quick with my program.

No offensive intended, but the first and last points are not new at all.

I am not sure how it was so offensive to you however, that is not my intention.

I don't know Albany, but the deals in Syracuse are drying up - presumably because out-of-towners (no offense - I grew up there, but am now an out-of towner myself) are coming in buying properties at too-high prices.

I don't take offense to the letters offering $56k when a property is worth $140k.

Contractors can be some of the least reliable people on the planet - no offense to the good one (singular) reading this.
