Rules that your tenants don't follow, may get you fined, but tougher for you to enforce...noise, trash, pets, etc.   

. - Would be a great opportunity for that person to ask the tenant to show them the issues and TAKE A VIDEO  of the issue plus the property condition and evidence of pets.

We are not pet friendly.

Typically, we don’t even accept pets at our properties, but this particular tenant was inherited when we took over, and we know the property itself already needs a lot of work.

By allowing dogs you’ll stand out from most of your competition, many of which are struggling STR owners, but you’ll need to take some precautions (ie, language in your lease, pet deposits, declining certain types of dogs, providing pet covers for furniture and requiring them to remain in place, perhaps fencing in a small area of the yard, etc.)2.While closing costs themselves might be $4,500, you should also account for the following:    a.Prepaying a year of insurance ($2,000 in your estimates)   b.Prefunding your escrow account for sake of the next tax bill (likely a few months or $440 if you close soon and the county is the type that says it’s due by early January)   c.Prefunding your escrow account for sake of your next insurance renewal (ie, likely 3 months or $500)3.DSCR programs often disallow the borrower to waive escrows, meaning to pay tax and insurance bills on their own.

My biggest pet peeve in this business is the “yes-man” manager who tells owners only what they want to hear.

I'm kind of a clean freak so I can share a few things I like on a personal level that were mostly found on tiktok from STR cleaners: -Sprayway glass cleaner: works great and inexpensive too-Odoban: like a Febreze, my former home housekeeper used it, it has a scent which I really like -Rocco & Roxie for pet stains-Weiman Stainless steel cleaner for fridge, microwave etc. 

My pet bird got sick and spent it on a Vet bill.

Maybe at college locations online to pick up more college related bookings.Do you allow pets, if not why?

Small multis are ideal to start, then layer in quality singles or more multis depending on deal flow.Value-adds that matter: rent-lifting turns (floors, paint, lighting, hardware, clean kitchens/baths); operational wins (metering, laundry, parking/storage, pet rent, RUBS where allowed); safety/structure first (roof, HVAC, foundation, electrical).BRRRR reality in higher-cost markets: full BRRRR is tough in Northern MA/Southern NH.
