They do a great job of cleaning my units and keeping the consumables stocked (toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent, coffee, etc).Does your condo association allow short term rentals like AirBnB?  

Sounds like you have "leads" or "suspects", that is, if you're a Realtor, doing conventional or even mildly creative transactions.First question, what's you goal, how much do you need to make in this?

Just to clarify, I'm sure Jerry saying "owner has exclusive control" he is speaking to the owner of the dog, not the owner of the property.A few years ago I had a similar occurrence, my German Shepard mildly attacked a neighbor in my home.

In fact, this is a mild thread, wait till you read others, LOL So, welcome to BP, enjoy the forums, understand the passion of opinions here from all points of view.

While I still make title mistakes on occasion the gains from use of what I've learned and apply far outweigh the mild errors.

I must say I'm 98% inspired and 2% frustrated, but thought a mildly inflammatory title might get more views. :)First off, if you haven't read Chris Voss' "Never Split the Difference" and listened to podcast "The Ultimate Guide to Negotiation", do so right now! 

You still have maintenance to pay, and if you have to foreclose and get property back, that's some real money, because you still have to pay the underlying lien.So get a great positive cash flow and buy some equity was subject to and wraps.The way I look at real estate rentals, it costs 10% to sell, so that is my Zero Mark.What that means is $100,000 property today is really worth 90,000 to me with no equity.So in order for me to be interested I need st least a 20% equity position to buy on a wrap or subject to.That may not be everyone's benchmark.So this long post talks about bad credit and how to improve it, and also talks about being a bad credit real estate entrepreneur not a bad credit real estate investor.There many other things you can do with bad credit credit: I love helping sellers that have a mild rehab, say $300,000 house, needs 20,000, but just updating bathrooms and kitchens, the roof is fine, foundations fine, HVAC is fine, paint and carpet is fine, just bathrooms and kitchens.I will do a JV with the seller, basically saying to the seller,if you can not afford to do the rehab work, we can work as partners and use my money and my company's labor to do the work, then sell the house, then we'll get the money out when it sells.This is an advanced concept, "JV with the seller", but the seller makes more money by doing it this way been doing that 65% of ARV less repair costs of wholesalers.In closing, Best of luck everybody that has bad credit and go make some money!

I'm trying to decide where to buy  Here is my search criteria:I want a warm or mild climateI want to eventually move there and live in one of the unitsI want a balance of cash flow and appreciation (want 6% apprec or better)Want monthly cash flow of 200-400 or more  low cost of property  ( under $275,000)first choice is a 4 plex, next choices - triplex or duplex or single family house if there is another building on the property where I can live, .   

(Special Needs with mild disabilities) Rent by the room at 550-800 per room. 800 rent x 3 bedrooms = 2400  and get  up to 1600 deposit per person x 3 = 4800. 

I don't necessarily see any issues with having a living room, but with as many people as there are in my house, I like that there isn't much incentive to bring friends over and treat the house like the 'hangout' spot.Keep in mind I have 7 people (and sometimes 8 when a guest stays a weekend) so my opinions come from running a mini hotel basically lol.Similar to Nicole, I provide toilet paper, paper towels, all cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, etc.
