So I'm going to post my input short and sweet as possible. 1.

Tired, scared and unsophisticated sellers sometimes want out and will make you a sweet deal.Problems = OpportunitiesFrank

My experience with a very sweet pit bull my daughter inherited from a boyfriend, is that the dog was enormously destructive. 

Keep it short, sweet and to the point.

My personal cash flow will be increasing in the next couple of months, and I think I may be able to refinance to a slight positive cash flow.Additionally, the tenant emailed me that he wanted to add a pet (went from one mature dog to two puppies). 

I first emailed them when we had interest from a couple of sweet pit bull dogs and their owners, but we confirmed that even if they were covered by rental insurance, our insurance company would not allow it.

@Patrick McCandless"Sweet Spot" I'm looking in is Antioch, Pittsburg, and  Baypoint.  

Beyond paying for expenses, a sweet ride or otherwise, with W-2 income most folks seem to bear more tax burden than is necessary.If one has to pay for depreciable assets it seems best to pay for them in a manner that the depreciation serves a beneficial purpose (i.e., reduction of taxable income). 

We will be selective with new tenants and their dogs, somebody with a brand new puppy doesn't appeal to us as somebody with a 3 year old dog.

After a bit of "sweet talkin" the tenant agreed to a partial refund of $380, which just delighted me!
