Whatever your pet policy is, you need to make sure you stick with it throughout all your rentals for consistency and honesty - obviously, a non-refundable security deposit for a pet or a monthly pet rent will mean more $ for you - however, you also risk pets being badly behaved and trashing the apartment which you would have to pay to repair.

I think sticking with BRRRR strategy and instead doing a smaller deal where I can learn the process sounds better than having 100% my cash stuck in a new rental that is purchased the traditional way.

Decide how you want to run your business, develop a plan and stick to it for more than a year3.
