I found out there is a dog in the unit (we have the other unit, and it is not under PM, so others who have been in and out of the place for unrelated repairs have mentioned the presence of an animal).

They are sweet dogs!

As a dog person myself, I hate to rule out pet owners as prospective renters. 

If you made nothing and worked dead end jobs and beat your wife and your dog and cursed your mother and cheated your friends, then yes maybe you were a loser, but beyond that it's all perspective.3.

He is unable to afford market rent and has a big dog and the place smells like dog urine.

While going to school I am house sitting and walking dogs to help with out a little bit and have some sort of income.

And if townhouses become a consideration then look into Inspirada (about 5 minutes from the Raiders practice facility) where there are several parks, dog parks, playgrounds, community pools...

Maybe fedex a key and have the HOA go do a 'Pet Welfare" check.Dead dog and cat smell is awful, and can be expensive to fix.They need water and pet chow and if no takers are found for them here is a link:https://www.nokillnetwork.org/d/Florida/24 hours could be too late, might want to think about this now.

How much should I pay someone to go investigate a property? Take pictures etc? And how do I find people to do that for me out of state? Thank you.

I bought it as a flip but turns out we love the home and it’s great for us and the dogs.
