As for the experience suggestion, thank you for your bluntness JHL, we all need that reality check, but I also have 42 years (bought my first property at 16 years old) and 5 generations of real estate investment behind me and am always looking for new developments in this dynamic business.

Thank you for the suggestion on MiniStays we'll check it out!

Do you have any suggestions on how we can secure long-term financing under these circumstances?

I had a loan officer suggest to do this.

In other words, if there are attorneys who can afford to specialize in just prosecuting dog owners for dog bites - then good luck defending against them.What I learned when I was studying law, was that if there is any history whatsoever that a dog has ever bitten someone or a dog before, then no matter the circumstances, if they bite again - they are automatically guilty.And, even as a dog lover, you and I both know that some breeds are more likely to bite than others.  

Hi @William Taylor, As an agent and investor, I have a few suggestions. 

Quote from @Rafael Valdor: Quote from @Anthony Therrien-Bernard: Quote from @Rafael Valdor: hi fellow investors,I want to rent out my townhouse in Calgary, but haven't had much luck with it on Rentfaster and Zillow.Just a couple of tire kickers so far.I reached out to a few Realtors (just for tenant placement) and got crickets...So I'm going to reach out to PM's next, but I was reluctant to do it since all I hear are horror stories.Any suggestions for half decent PM's or realtors who specialize in residential leasing?

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

I would suggest focusing on solving people's problems more than trying to sell them.

I'm so sorry this happened to you and great suggestion on adding a paragraph to the lease.
