@Ola Dantis lol I know...that's my problem...I love animals, but I also own two dogs and know they aren't perfect. 

Could be a dog or a cat?

At restaurants, dog park, where ever. 

You're better off bird-dogging and/or interning. 

Its very hard to protect yourself when you are bird dogging (bandit signs, d4d etc and passing the info to someone else) for someone because even if you sign some sort of contractual agreement, its worthless if you cannot afford to enforce it.

My dog would have been disgusted! 

If it is going to be vacant for a while, you could like some people suggested add cameras, turn on the porch light or I heard from another investor that he stayed in the house with his dog.

My other suggestion would be for you to act as a bird dog for another, more experienced wholesaler or investor and let them pay you for leads like this since someone with experience would know what the next steps are, and could quickly execute them to try to negotiate a deal.

@Brett GoldsmithRehab is just floors and paint Just to get rid of dog smell.

Offering dry cleaning services, dog walking or snow removal provided by you can generate more income.The secret about furnished rentals is that people don’t expect the furniture to be brand new, so you can furnish it with used pieces.Don’t wait any longer!
