Thanks for the responses, each provide much food for thought. In the not so distant future, the ESA law will become more problematic as animals get larger and more exotic. like I stated, a horse now falls in the ESA category, so how would you prepare for that? I put vinyl In my rentals, but that wouldn’t sustains a horse. I wonder if anyone’s had an experience with this. What about a cow? Snake? Possum? Rat? Raccoon? Etc... it’s sadly coming to a rental near you. You could turn a potential tenant down for other factors, but what happens when your current tenant gets the ESA certificate for a horse?

It seems as though the no pet policy is soon to be outlawed and I’m concerned. My company has had a mo pet policy since inception, however the law has changed to now force me to take in ESA animals. This includes horses. People seem to be placing a higher importance on animals and not hummus, so I expect this trend to continue to grow. It seems easy to get an ESA and a lot of people are using this to get their animals on flights at no cost. I’m not attempting to discuss the legality, nor am individuals need, I am hoping to get some input on ways to protect my investment. It’s my understanding that not only do you have to accept an ESA, but you also can not insure your property by getting a pet deposit. How can you animal proof your house? Can anything preserve our investment? A dog does different damage than a cat, what about a horse? Thoughts would be appreciated.
Can I get more info on the location of the apartment buildings in Jonesboro? Thanks.

Hello sir! Welcome to America and to Jonesboro. My wife is a recent immigrant from the Philippines, so we relate to the struggles involved. You are accurate in your assessment of Jonesboro and if I can be of assistance let me know.

The sba states that the business failure rate is around 66% for the first year. I'm curious to see how the bigger pockets forum fares. I'm in my fourth year of business.

I have a corporation that I purchase/rehab/rent properties in. I have recently been approved for my contractors license in my personal name. J understand that I have to provide workers comp if I hire someone for the new construction, but will I have to provide it if I hire a helper in my corporation? If so what would be the least expensive method? I have a guy that works full time and has health insurance, but he helps me on a part time basis. Thanks
