I wouldn't worry too much about adding a third dog, even a puppy, as it sounds like they are responsible people and didn't try to hide anything from you.Personally, I'd send them a note stating something like: I'm not thrilled with the idea of a third dog living there, but I understand the situation.

and in the end, he was thrilled that it worked out the way it did.

I'd be thrilled to hear anything you all have to contribute.  

I am working with an insurance agent and doing my own research, but not too thrilled about what's been discovered.Also, any advice on obtaining umbrella coverage for the entire building and requiring each tenant to acquire their own renter's insurance? 

I'm thrilled to have recenlty moved back here after 9 years away in New Hampshire.

It's in a nice safe area that I would be thrilled to live in.Now I'll go over some of the financials.Price of the property: $120,000FHA loan payment: $1000 (Rough estimate including loan, insurance, PMI, property taxes)Current rent per unit: $550, 550, 600, 600.

I just replaced a 1984 model with no ice maker and wire shelves, the guy was thrilled.

Being new is thrilling and frightening equally, and getting a little advice is priceless.

I can only imagine investors with 10+ properties are closing in on a 7 figure liability - Is the rental income enough to justify that magnitude of debtOn top of that, I will want to get a personal home soon as well (currently house hacking a duplex), I wouldn't want real estate investment debt to be a burden on me missing out on a dream homeThen of course I'm cash stricken after putting down the 20%, so it will take some time before my current property generates enough to where I'm ready to afford another down payment (also it should be noted I'm not thrilled about the idea of raising capital through others)How do you manage your debt as you scale your portfolio?  

They are absolutely thrilled with the 8% coupon tax deferred and the rest (debt pay down and forced appreciation) is icing on the cake!
