Pets yes but keep in mind they do require more cleaning, maintenance. 

I was going to do this, but I changed my mind after talking with my target demographic (my kids).

But keep in mind if your using money you cant afford to get back then buying action property might not be appropriate for your current endeavors and its better to just buy open market were you can do proper due diligence and know you have a build-able site.

And do you have a price point in mind?

@Michael DartenMichael,Let me know who choose and how it works out, I wouldn’t mind having a backup.

Keep in mind tax's.

A deal killer doesn't mind hopping into the fray and telling everyone the truth.5.

Plus, we had a family in mind that were looking to rent a house.

.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

If you don't mind a little more management, renting by the room and midterm can bring in a lot more revenue than renting just the basement or other unit if you get a duplex.
