Anyway, it left my property without a fence and I had an agreement with my tenant that I would put up a fence for their dog.

Meanwhile, there are people with 100 rentals that are working like dogs every day to keep their empire growing.Not all markets cash flow.

@Conrad Metzenberg  Avocado toast is a great one. speaking of gentrification indicators, i've noticed some that stand out:more than one night time dog walker, extra points if it's a female on a cell phone; tattoo parlors, funky coffee place, small niche workout gyms, anything Asian that isn't Chinese, all within 3-4 blocks; any hippy or hipster sightings, extra points if you see them at Whole Foods later; very low people count in the middle of the day 

Our story is similar to what you're looking at doing.My wife and I house hacked a duplex in Sacramento Ca which was a real dog when we bought it

One interested candidate has an emotional support dog.

@Kalen MillsMy neighbors dog crapped in my front yard without my consent !!!

It's an older dog and they claim its well behaved (they reassure me its a perfect dog).

But this old dog likes to always see new tricks.

Outright denials to accept tenants with these types of animals can result in charges for violating the law.Service animals are dogs trained to work or perform tasks for the person with a disability.

Bird dog, become a Realtor and sell some houses, use free lead sources etc.
