If you can maximize all 3, then you've also created a very wide lead funnel, which is less common in multifamily properties.Maximizing "pets" means you're removing carpet, allowing at least 2 pets including cats and larger dogs > 50 lbs, access to a fully fenced-in yard or walking distance to a dog park, leniency on breed restrictions (depends on insurance, your risk tolerance, due diligence with pets during inquiry phase), pet friendly furniture (e.g. faux leather couch, low pile rugs if at all), etc.

Check out this rug.

Burlap on the wall, postage stamp rug for a large living room, hodgepodge of items around the house with no real theme.

I never paint, swap rugs (except flooding), or do other improvements on rent controlled units This can lead to blight.Who benefits from rent control?

I would never rely on only one platform - and they can for any reason pull the rug from under you.

Once, a tenant left a massive stain on the rug beyond repair.

Just seems like an odd business practice to shovel everything under the rug.

The whole idea of real estate prices for risk just gets swept under the rug basically.

Could you imagine having a bunch of STRs in Dallas and then the city randomly pulling the rug out from you?

Worst case, slap on some primer, throw down a rug, and voilà: a "blank canvas for the next homeowner."
