Don't make the dog your problem, you can very professionally and respectfully; Tell them that it' their duty to control the dog and let them know that if it happens again, they are putting you in a position where, even though you don't want to, you HAVE to act.

This is high level, need to document intent and figureout the details with your professional. 

Should be, but your language is a bit less than precise* so good to check on the details with a professional (*not at all unusual or surprising as most peopled don't do this every day).

If you don't you can end up on an island and that's not where I want to be, I want as much guidance as I can get from professionals who do this everyday

A bit about myself, I have been a professional merchant mariner for 10 years and a commercial fisherman for the 10 years prior.

The living room had a vaulted ceiling and tons of cracked drywall seems, which were professionally done and then everything in living room professionally painted, drywall work and painting was $1600 We painted the rest of the house ourselves.

I suggest you talk to a tax professional who is familiar with real estate.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Hi Matt,I used to play poker professionally and trading in the past.

Seems the right choice is start over and make more professional buisness decisions in the future .
