Pets for Larger Family Homes

[Benjamin Leung]

Hey everyone, I was talking with a friend of mine about a 5 bed 3 bath property I purchased in hopes to make it a large family rental. He asked if I was going to allow pets. In any other case I would definitely say no because of the extra wear and tear but he was talking about people with family pets.The house is already an older home and has a partially fenced in yard. A part of me thinks that it wouldn't be very difficult at all and I would attract more tenants. I looked at the other comparable rentals in the area and they don't allow pets at all so I would have an edge. Am I crazy for wanting to allow pets in the home.

My rehab strategy would simply change to leave the current carpet since they are in okay condition and I would probably add a doggy door to the bottom walk out since the door is a bit run down anyways.
