If I were in your shoes, I'd probably have a frank and friendly with the tenant and talk a big, threat free game, but point out that her lease does not allow for animals and that she did not disclose the animal to you.

The $35k property I have a friend that has been watching me and asking questions and said next time I have a deal could we do it together. 

Or do you really need to impress your friends and/or parents with your expenditures?

My wife and I are just getting started in local area on Fix/Flip and Rehab's and we are looking for investor friendly General Contractors in the Tucson, AZ area. 

Have briefly discussed it a little with a friend of mine who's in the mortgage business but he thinks I'll have to put up a larger down payment(30%) which is meehhhhh for an SFR.

They cannot just sell it to their investor friends and not list it?

Can anyone recommend an investor friendly real estate agent, contractor and roofer in El Paso?

Thank you friends for your input.I spoke to one of my attorneys yesterday and he said that I don't have to return the security deposit and the tenant is also responsible for a month of lost rent.I was just trying to avoid any ugly situation and offered my tenant half of his security deposit back. 

I have friends and family that are interested in getting involved, but i want my first deal to be on me to prove myself first.
