Thank you for your time and consideration. 1) Not really. 2) Credit, income, landlord reference, eviction record, criminal record, cleanliness of vehicle and clothes, type of pet(s) (if any), quantity of people they want to have occupy the unit. 3) We already market our units a little below market rent so that we can get a good pool of applicants to choose from.

Sounds to me like an experienced investor dumping a dog on you and taking a large down payment to make it painful for you to walk once you are trapped owning this thing.

should a bird dogger have his/her investor sign a contract or a real estate bird dog agreement

I was trying to bird dog wholesale deals for my former business coach, but all he did was deliver promises with no results (he was more involved in multi-level marketing more than REI).

Are you trying to wholesale or bird dog?

We told her we would not renew, and she said she wouldn't renew either if she couldn't keep the dog *and* she wanted a 2nd one.

I go back outside and ask the neighbors about has anyone seen a raccoon, and it turns out its one of the neighbors pets that runs around the neighborhood.I'll bet the hair on the back of my neck stood up for 30 minutes after I flicked that lighter and saw those huge glowing eyes about 6 feet from me with no body behind them.

My reasoning is that, overall the property offers more space, a yard for my dog, and the prices are really low. taxes are high but when compared to Hudson County Areas they are low.  

Not only to get the rents I want and to get adequate security deposits, but to make my property smoke-free or to set my rules about pets, among other things.
