We are hoping to work with the current occupants, whether to gently remove them or allow them to stay on as renters. 

Easy there Ben - put the coffee cup gently down and then back slowly away from the it.

We hope to connect with those who have  positive experiences in the Palmdale, Lancaster, and Quartz Hill areas.We expect to start with wholesaling and/or smaller SFR flips; I enjoy planning rehabbing to within (or maybe gently pushing) the neighborhood rehab standard.

If seller is willing to sell at a reasonable price agents are not  going to twist their arm to raise price 20% above market.

If so, I might bring it up to him (gently) that this other unit might come available, would he want to consider moving downstairs if it does.  

HelloThis is my first time posting so be gentle haha.I am looking at buying a Duplex for 85K that will rent out for $1,500 conservatively.

The therapy dog is an interesting twist and might be a protected class ( I have no clue ) but you would have to check on that.

Hello all,  I'm new to the forum, so be gentle. 

This house has boring looking once twisted pieces that are not very attractive.

I had to gently remind him that if he chose to back out of the contract, he would be the one breaching the contract and the buyer could sue for specific performance.
