I allow pets..... but if the pet is one I don't allow...certain breeds are not covered on insurance..... or the pet is an issue at the unit....noise, urinating/defecation, chewing etc, then the landlord is placed in a much harder situation to force them to get rid of the pet..... the tenant will scream ESA and now legal issue come into playIt takes away the ability for the landlord to say NO, or this pet has to go.....I allow pets....I screen them similar to a tenant.......

Driver of crashed car opens the door and stumbles in, covered in blood and screaming at the top of his lungs, "THEY SHOT MY BABY!!!"

It can be done, but it takes a lot of work to find those kinds of "screaming" deals, you have to know what you're doing or you'll get stuck with a major money pit, and your market has to support these numbers.

(Remember this is an apples to apples comparison, not a grandma cannot pay her mortgage payment screaming deal).

She’s already screaming about how we can’t take her to court and she can just squat if she wants.

Pretty much everywhere (at least around here) the process goes something like this: inspectors and permit people need to justify their jobs, so they make the process more difficult than it already is, with added BS that doesn't pass muster with any standard like the IBC or NFPA, the City Council says "Well, they're the experts" and acquiesce, eventually enough contractors start screaming at council members, who direct staff to make changes, who make the 10 page permit process a 9 page process and call it a successful reform 🙄 .

Almost all of our properties are 5+ bedrooms, and I have trouble seeing much cash flow on anything with a lower bed-count unless you get a screaming deal on the purchase.Cheers and thank you for your service!
