@Ian Walsh Thank you for your reply!! I am glad to hear that your license helped you. To have the access to MLS is one of the reasons that I think it brings values too.

Thanks and have a great day!

Hi everyone, 

Do you suggest that an investor to get a realtor license? If so, would you have any suggestion of the online courses to prepare for TX Realtor License? 

Thanks so much!

Thanks, Russell! I think 2 is my comfort number as well. Thanks for your advice!

Dear BP friends,

Do you think it is ok if your tenants have 4 dogs (3 outdoor) in your rental property? Should I increase the rent because of the number of animals? By how much do you suggest to increase? Or is it better to keep looking for other tenants?

Thank you so much for your help!

@Cameron Tope Thanks a lot, Cameron! Yes, I will make sure that I have the clause in my contract for future student tenants. Great advice. Thanks!

@John WarrenThank you so much for your advice! I agree that I should let them leave soon. I appreciate your help!

Dear BP members, 

I am new investor in TX. I got my first duplex last year with tenants occupied. One of the units had a couple, both were students. They broke up a few months ago, and the girl moved out without notifying me. The boy is still living in the unit. They both signed the lease. So the girl has been paying the half of the rent for the last two months. But from this month, she didn't want to pay her half anymore. They didn't come to an agreement as how to split the rent otherwise. Their lease is due next May. I agreed to let them go by the beginning of next year. Should I let them leave this month and keep the deposit as they broke the contract? Or is there a better way to solve it? 

I would greatly appreciate your advise!

Thanks,
