The winners will be the breed that succeed, not by preying on the weak, but those of us that build up the strong.

:) Familiarity breeds contempt (in some cases).

Another reason I'd like to move to Boston - there's a whole different breed of women out there getting swooped up and I'm not doing the swooping! 

Hi AllI just found out that one of my tenants has a pit bull type dogNot too long ago, I had all my tenants sign a rental addendum acknowledging that certain breeds are not allowed (like pit bulls)The good news is that the tenant says they will get rid of the dog as the tenant says he was waiting for a relative to reclaim the dog but for whatever reason, it's taken longer than it shouldI plan to give them a notice of breach but I wasn't sure how long is a reasonable time to cure the breachIs one month the typical time to cure non-rent payment breaches?

Are you looking for that perfect situation or one that you can turn into that perfect situation.SUCCESS BREEDS SUCCESS

Could be a purveyor of 'dangerous breed' dogs, trying to drum up sales of guard dogs Or a security company trying to sell alarms Or kids pranking In any case, I'm sure we can all make a strong distinction between simple trespassing/banana theft and B&E in the middle of the night.

I have a bunch of tenants.I will tell you what I tell my property manager.Do not get over involved in tenants problems and lives.Simply collect the rent and handle repairs and make sure the tenants are in compliance with the terms of the lease.I am very picky in who I allow to rent in my buildings.I turn down about 3 to 4 out of every 5 applicants.No pit bulls,aggressive breeds of animals,sex offenders,felony offenders,drugs,loud parties,unclean tenants,evictions from other apartments,no smoking inside of the units,etc.I go through this the first time I meet a potential tenant before I say anything else.The deadbeats leave real quick and the good ones like that I do that upfront and want to apply for a unit.You should have researched the tenants on the lease way before closing on this property.At the least it would have given you leverage to drive down the price further to take on a bigger problem.A good deal is only relative to the problems you take on when purchasing.Do not kid yourself on the drug dealing.If they grow pot,smoke meth,etc. the costs to remediate the units after you get them out can put you under.Just go talk to the sheriffs department about drug damaged units.Did you pull a criminal report for the area before buying??

Most breeders do not allow others to breed their ferrets offspring as it is bad for their business so they also spay and neuter before selling. 

I hate to break it to you Jim, but we are a hybrid breed of Capitalism and Socialism.

As stated earlier buying where others are not willing allows me to live the life that others are dreaming about.I wish you success, but as I have said to you and others before you have to jump in and start with that first one.SUCCESS BREEDS SUCCESS
