The last thing you want is a massive aggressive dog or dogs in your house.

Have a talk with your uncle to familarize yourself with the tenants behavior and personality. 

Find an agent to act like a bird dog for you.

I would like to learn how to bird dog for investors and create the opportunity for me to own my own 10 acres of land.

I am guessing the number would be staggering.They realize this and the way for the people to increase their chances is to sell the course to as many people as possible.Make you pay them a fee and then you have all these "bird dogs" for free going out and finding them those needle in a hay stack deals.Then when you get one for them that finally works they take 90% of the profit!
