Hello BiggerPockets community,

I am asking everyone's opinion regarding pets in their rental properties. I am a pet person myself, however, I am unsure if I'll allow pets in my rental properties due to untrained pets, which results in further damage and maintenance. If you do allow pets in your rentals, what are your policies and fees to mitigate "damage"? Also, what is your general experience concerning tenants with pets? Thanks!

Best,

Hello,

I have a business that offers junk removal and small demolition. Two services consolidated into one, how could someone is my position get in front of landlords and investors? Any advice?

I look forward to your responses!

They are at best the most incompetent brokerage with which I’ve ever worked.   They’ve taken payments for premiums and not bound the policies, and let the policies lapse without my knowledge.  They do not communicate once you’ve informed them of how they screwed up.  They’re absolutely horrific.  I’m now scrambling to get 7 properties insured because of their gross incompetence.

Hi! I'm considering buying single family homes out-of-state (Ohio, Carolinas, Tennessee, etc) and curious if anyone has experience with long distance rentals. Obvious to hire a property management company, but are there any negatives associated with remote investments? My partner is on the fence and any stories from other investors could sway his decision.

Hello fellow investors!

Thank you ahead of time, also if you are an agent/investor/manager/contractor in the area feel free to connect with me!

Hello,
There are 6 months left on lease on my rental properties in FL, so I would like to end the year lease, and tell the tenant to move out, good tenant and pay on time, I just want the tenant to get out of that property, because I need to fix the property and sell it. What is the legal way to do this?

Thank you!

I own a house down in Baton Rouge that I have a property management company that manages it. Got a call last week from my property manager saying that the tenant is moving out today, they put in a 60 day written notice mailed it to the company but it got lost in the shuffle. Property manager found the letter so the tenant did everything by the book. Now I'm in a bind to rent this house out ASAP.  I'm upset at the property manager for dropping the ball on this I live out of state and expected this to be handled. Should I expect the Property Manager company to waive management fees for the first two months of the next lease? What is a reasonable response to this? 

Can anyone please recommend a good property manager for my fourplex?  I'm currently using Real Property of Houston and not really happy with their communications and I've only been working with them for a year.  

Thanks in advance.

I’m seeing home warranty companies like American Home Shield offer maintenance and repair coverage for appliances, roof leaks, etc… with prices starting at about $40 a month up to about $100 a month for the “platinum package”… Anyone have experience with these companies? Is the monthly subscription worth it or do you all deal with maintenance issues as they come up?
