The issue is when we were walking the house she disclosed she had 2 dogs (and also a cat which was forgotten about until the next day). 

Having deals on the line are like dog years of education (and team building).

Fixing fence in yard we see a small dog crate with towel over top and small rubber bone and also puppy pads left in yard a couple times.

There is often either friction between Board members, making real progress or change very difficult if not impossible, or a completely apathetic mentality, where most just go along, to get along, with whatever the Alpha Dog puts forth, with no real consideration as to what is actually in the best interest of the entire Membership for the long term.Often they do not take the time to learn about their own Governing Documents or Budget and Reserve Funding.

Goals for this deal:- secure precisely 3 units within 1 mile of Rillito Bike Path @ Dodge Blvd: easy to access all major Tucson road cycling routes- property layout functional for STR: adequate parking, separate backyard spaces, etc- walking distance to Brandi Fenton Dog Park & Tucson Hop Shop (best bar in Tucson)- pay house cleaner & landscaper to periodically clean primary residence out of AirBnB income (still working towards that!)
