House Hacking With Large Breed Dog
Hello everybody,
I would like to start off by saying that I am new to the world of real estate investing and the biggerpockets community.
I have been trying to figure out how to get started and house hacking a small multifamily with three or four units seems like an ideal way to start. My concern is that I have a German Shepherd which many landlords would consider to be a large and aggressive dog breed. If I was house hacking and allowed large breed dogs in the lease, I am worried about the liabilities behind allowing possibly large and aggressive breeds. Especially since I would be just starting out and get hit with a lawsuit I can't afford, and get wiped out early in my investing journey.
What kind of protection could I get? Is there something I could put in the lease? A waiver? An insurance policy? An LLC? In other words, how can I make it work. For me, my little buddy is non negotiable.
Thank you for any advise and I am excited about learning more!
