New Mobile Home Community Dogs or No Dogs

[Byron Wilson]

Good Morning BP family,

I have a question regarding allowing animals or not. So, I purchased my first rental property in 2019, which was a 6 unit MH park, not the best looking, but a cash cow and great tenants . So, Q2 2020 I set out to expand my business in the middle of the pandemic. Mostly everyone had the opinion that the timing wasn’t right, but I seen a need, built a business case and secure a loan for $600k+to build a new MH community with the capacity for 14 homes. So, now I have all utilities installed, 9 homes and 4 ready to rent. Now, my original business model did not include animals not because don’t I love animals, but because I didn’t allocate space due to layout. However, now I have started promoting and driving traffic to my property management. So, some of the potential customers have animals and I need your advice on the following 1. Managing animals w/out a designated area.

2. Animal impact to property long term (Cost) 3. Creating a animal friendly space ideas or any other feedback.

Thanks for the feedback!!
