One such time was when a tenant called me because their beloved pet had died and they didn't know what to do.

#5 Will they let me keep my pet?

The lease that he signed with the previous owner allows him to have pets, but they are awful.

As soon as one of your tenants dogs bites a neighbor,a nd the neighbor sues because they feel the fence wasn't properly maintained.

I wanted 80+ units in order to afford full 3rd party management, but as a beginner with no track record, and everyone and their dog buying here in DFW, it was very difficult to find something that wasn't getting overbid (at least in my opinion?).

But then you have disclosures to the sellers about mark up and profits.Gurus though and even here on the Hallowed grounds of BP they talk about how to get started in RE and they talk about bird dogging and wholesaling and its really not legal to do..Otherwise why would there even be a RE license or a RE brokerage business at all if we could all just go about willy nilly selling properties we don't own.I for one would love to see this practice brought down and regulated.

When I closed there were 3 dogs...

He's also old and I just don't have the inclination to even try to teach that old dog any new tricks.

I currently live in Philadelphia with my wife and daughter (and dog.)
