We actually had this happen this month, the Tenants dog required surgery in April and the Tenant dipped into their savings to cover the bill(s).

Feasible to walk my dog and drop off letters in the door?

flip, buy/hold, wholesale/bird-dog, sfr, 2-4units?

p.s.For reference, I am an Econ and Business graduate with a bit of an all over the place work history: http://www.linkedin.com/in/zacharysexton.p.p.s.Should I mention bird dogging as a possible benefit?

Google REIA and find a local one in your area to visit.You may be allowed to give a 30 second elevator pitch so just say your are new and looking to find deals for investors (bird dog).

If you allow dogs or cats then that would be another concern with carpeting.

Changing pets rules every year dependong on who wants what.

Buying rentals because the low prices and high rents make it a great place to own rentals right now.If you have more time that money being a bird dog - feeding leads to a more experienced investor or wholesaling is probably the best way to get started.

This is because they claim its lower maintenance and they have a dog -- so more pet friendly.I have no idea.

Something could be defined as bird dogging it, attempting a wholesale, or taking on a fix-n-flip.
