In 2012 I graduated from Western Kentucky University with a Bachelor Degree in Marketing with a concentration in Social Media and a Minor in Sales.I currently live in the community of Woodway with my fiance and our two dogs Pendleton and Sadie.

If you just want to bird-dog the deal to another investor (or assign it if you have the means to get it under contract), you can let them know what your fee is and negotiate it if needed.

Said lady has moved out and her daughter and boyfriend have moved in, including the original cat and now a small dog. 

You are asking some really basic questions which is good, but you are in for a long learning curve doing this on your own.Consider acting as a bird dog for the dominant wholesaler in your market.

I see no positive outcome and SOO much negative including you being the bad guy.PS- Even the best cases with friends, I always took the high road costing me money or getting in the dog house.

Based upon what you have written in this thread about yourself, might I suggest you start as a bird dog for a successful wholesaler rather than trying to just wholesale without any training.The ebooks and free information you will find on it is dated and incomplete.  

But more directly to your question of "taking control"......no, the dog still wags the tail in this case.

I'm just an adjuster and I have never had this scenario yet, but I know that if I were handling a dog bite liability claim from a prescribed emotional support animal I would be looking into the liability insurance of the prescribing doctor.  

Be a Bird Dog for awhile until you figure it out, then climb the food chain to be a wholesaler, then Buy-FixUp-Rent/Sell.3.

Even my dog learns from mistakes; it all seems a bit 2006 round here.
