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.
