Tenant also moved a dog into property about a year in (200 nonrefundable in lease for pets) and also enclosed an open loft into a bedroom, sheet rocking open space and placing a door on an open entry way.

I even have to replace the sub floor because it was soaked with dog pee and rotted away. 

I have some background in Paralegal work, so I know how to research properties, titles, liens etc..Ive done some bird dog work including driving for dollars but nothing really ever happened, the person I was finding the properties for would pay me $1 per lead, $5 for every person she would contact and $500 for closing ( which never happened). just need help on getting started and legitimate resources. thank you in advance for any info is welcomed. 

If you come across any good deals you want to wholesale/bird dog let me know!

The guy they hired to lease it in Huntsville put in a predatory tenant who paid 1 month rent (first month) while living there, brought in 3 rowdy dogs without permission and the house looked like a bomb hit it when they left.I'm going with Rocket City PM and crossing my fingers.

NotesIt needs a new roofIt's not in a neighborhood that is a good prospect for appreciationNot a bad neighborhood or unsafe or anything, it's just older houses and stuffThe neighbor has two big dogs that are outside on electric collars. 

If you wish to just drive by to look at it before then, the address is:Below are some basic requirements for any with moving into the rental:Prospective tenant‘s income will be verified and “take home” income must be three times the rent.Prospective tenants must have good references and may not have any evictions on their record.Prospective tenants must pass a minimum credit requirement.Prospective tenants must pass a background check.We have a no smoking policy.Prospective tenants may have one small dog or cat under 30 pounds.We have a maximum of two occupants per bedroom for a total of four people in the two bedroom apartment.All tenant paid utilities must be transferred into Prospective Tenant’s name.A lease must be executed and signed by all parties.

And then after all this, tenants wants a new fence in back for her large dog. 

These are the sources I recommend you read first.Bird Dog is a less official wholesaler with less pay off and headaches; you may want to try your hand at that for a little but perhaps not.Read this first.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/369...Secondhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/why-whole...Perhaps you want to read this last because it can be overwhelminghttps://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/01/3...Also Brandon Turner's "The Book On Investing in .... with No(and low) Money Down" has been very helpful for me.

If a more mature affluent tenant is your target, then I think you know the answer.I love dogs, but they are floor killers.
