Quote from @Corby Goade:
Yep, absolutely. That's a lease violationa and it's grounds for an eviction. No different than the tenant deciding to violate the lease by not paying any longer.
It's important that you hav a thorough lease that you know from front to back AND how it complies with local laws.
BTW- no insurance company will insure for injury or damages caused by bully breeds- that is why they aren't allowd in most rentals.
Corby, I'm sorry but how is it a lease violation when it (No pet rule) was not initially mentioned in the lease?

Welcome Ray!
I am actually a newbie too and closing on my first multifamily property next week. I actually bought a property that already has tenants in it and is pretty up to date.
Things that helped me get prepared for this was constant education. Some of my faves are:
1. ABCs of Real Estate Investing
2. ABCs of Property Management
3. Managing Rental Properties
3. The 5am Club
4. The Cashflow Quadrant
5. The Biggerpockets Pod. (duh) I have honestly learned so much from here.
6. The money guy podcast (helped me understand finances more in depth)
I also have found a mentor. Someone who owns over 15 properties and knows a lot of investing in general. This has really helped me pull the trigger and not get analysis paralysis.
Good luck on your journey and would love to stay connected so we can talk about what we learn and to see each other grow!
Thank you so much for your information. QUESTIONS how did you find your mentor?
@Randall Alan you have done a great job answering this question, thank you for your knowledge and insight, I could hear the experience speaking from your answer. As a rookie also I have learned a bit much from your reply.

Hello Biggerpockets Community,
I'm excited to join this forum as a newbie in real estate investment. I've always been interested in real estate, but I'm not quite sure where to start. I'm looking for guidance on finding a mentor, creating a road map to start investing in real estate, and getting a step-by-step guide on how to navigate the complex world of real estate investment.
I would love to hear from experienced investors on this forum who can offer advice and tips on how to get started. If you have any recommendations for mentors or coaching programs that have been helpful for you, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm also curious about the different types of real estate investment, such as rental properties, flipping, and commercial real estate. Which type of investment is best for a beginner like me?
Lastly, I'm hoping to connect with other newbies like myself to share experiences and learn from each other's successes and failures. Thank you in advance for your guidance and support. I'm looking forward to becoming a part of this community!
