I've heard Propstream might be worth looking into too.3) I think when you're starting out, you should go ahead and take the pictures. 

Even if they don't pay, I'm still ahead because I collected $3,000 in fees that year.Again, in my experience, I have had hundreds of pet owners and only a few of them have caused damages beyond what a deposit will cover, so I have earned tens of thousands in exra income for my owners.

Never heard of that but ultimately its their money and their rules so how do you argue.I did try pushing them to seller finance but they wanted 100k down and I just don't want the property that bad to where I have to tie up my cash for the down payment plus the rehab to add the additional units and fix the place up. 

They tried to push back and used the term "service animal" and started referring to the legal protections of a service animal. 

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

You will, likely, be required to sign and comply with their auxillary agreements, which you may not like/enjoy if push comes to shove. 

What that means is that if you win, they let you win and they didn't want the property of they bid you up.These are the basics, but I think you were way ahead knowing it's not ripe to be an acquisition pipeline.

Am I wrong for wanting to see when my places get booked and how much they got booked for ahead of time?

instead of "threatening" him to not do it, make him aware of the challenges ahead and why, so he has an opportunity to see and decide if he has what it takes to overcome them. 

Mark your property available for rent and it gets pushed out to several sites.
