So keep on keeping on and don't forget the reason your doing this.Here are what we are driving now...I was driving a 92 chevy pick-up with 279k miles on it. 3 trucks for 3 guys who have a vision.

The landlord is irritated that, from his perspective, you decided to just go out an get a dog without seeking approval - Which is a very understandable position - He or she is having visions of a problem tenant that will be a pain in his rear for the next year - Your job now is to let the landlord know that you did in fact ask the realtor about getting a dog and that you believed a dog wouldn't be a problem - you are making a pretty big assumption that the realtor will not acknowledge the conversation --- if the landlord still refuses the dog after you have explained your side of things, then you either find another home for the pet or pay to get out of the lease ....

Most of the issues really come from having a firm grip on the town and what their future vision will be. 

His vision is to either tear down or gut the two story building and convert it to a three bedroom residence for his family, possibly adding a floor depending on zoning and budget.

We are always eager to meet with folks in the area and share visions!

You need to have a vision of what you want and you need to tell the contractor exactly what to do.

Would love to talk to you about your vision.

There's a few ways to approach residential cash-flow investing... buy-hold an asset and make spreads over time that slowly build OR jump into a discounted situation and add the value by casting the vision, doing the work/repairs, turning that $2400/mo cash flow into much more and getting rewarded for all your blood/sweat/tears/RISK.

It will be much easier to get some conversations going and expand our vision through the knowledge of each other.

Hi Taylor,I love your vision for opening this place up/adding master/bath!
