Get our guys out to put a tarp over the roof.Meet in the morning with everyone to solve the problem, what to do with tenants, whose fault, where to go from here.You have tenants parking their cars on the lawnoHaving unauthorized guestsoDoing DrugsoHaving a dog they shouldn’t haveoHoardersoComplainerso(In my case…drive by shootings, bullet holes in rentals, thievery)oWater abuseoDish on roofs when forbidden to have one on the roofoAnd so much moreOn top of being ready to take care of emergencies any time night or day, and solving tenant issues.

I am brand new to the real estate game in the Miami area, I've been actively seeking bird dog opportunities in the local area essentially for OJT on-the-job training to gain experience and knowledge while being able to earn money at the same time.

Hi there,Newbie here. I am not an investor, I am looking to buy a REO property as owner occupied. This property is listed for 300K. I showed it to a contractor, there is roughly 100K required in repairs. Once repaired...

Stopped by and was able to talk to one of the neighbors walking their dogs.

For example, whole-selling , dog-birding for a local cash buyer, look on Craigslist what comes up and keep looking, daily, twice or 3 times per day ( i am sure you have a smart phone and check your Facebook more than you check for deals online).

You should also have clauses that protect the property, such as dogs and cats being on flea control medication, and the responsibility to clean up "deposits" from the lawn, and the responsibility to scoop litter boxes daily and clean completely once a week, etc.Inspect often, even if your tenants seem to be "nice people."  

That is actually what I had with L of L last year but at the end of the term, they cancelled due to dogs living in house and age of furnace and roof. 

@Andrew Halbert  mo better.. you own it.. you get pref return and 50% of upside.. now your talking like  a big dog !!!!

Not to dog on all people who do this, but I've seen many who do it poorly.  

@Eddie Cox - I have Pergo in my home...and what I can say is...my dog has done a great job of beating it up.
