Explain to the tenant what constitutes an emergency or urgent need vs what can wait.

Avoid swimming pools, trampolines and dangerous dog breeds.

There are lots of urgent buyers trying to get into escrow before interest rates rise.   

I can't say if this would be an option but my friend gated her stairs at the bottom and it helped this was more of a way of managing  her own kids and the dog.

They have been paying on time since I bought the property and have been good tenants; however, they both have cats and dogs, are smokers (outside), and the amount they are paying is ~$200 below market for unit A and ~$100 below market for unit B.

So, if ARV is 200k and it needs 20k in work to flip and the bird dog wholesaler wants 5 k spread.

We did live in a SFH converted to a duplex as renters before we bought, and aside from the upstairs tenants having a dog against the lease we got along well with everyone else who lived there.  

A bird-dog I use often reached out to me about a potential condo deal.  

@Victor Mejia Well in virtually all states being a Bird Dog, as i would define it, it illegal.

What you might really need is a local investor friendly agent, partner, or bird dog that can help you out.
