In CA, generally, if a tenants dog gets out and attacks a person or pet by way of landlord negligence, like through a broken window or faulty door, then you the landlord could be held liable.

However, minor cosmetic repairs or repairs to personal property cannot be deducted such as paint, replacing broken hardware, fixing leaks or holes, etc.(2) If you have other types of investments (e.g., stocks or mutual funds) that are operating at a loss, if you liquidate those investments to take a loss, you can use those losses to offset your capital gains.

I will try to find such a person.

I personally BRRRR'd 16 houses in Memphis last year.

I personally have 12-doors in Detroit and I'm working on a duplex (currently in probate).
