Ownership of a dog breed that would have nullified my insurance.2.  

Who will drive by to check the lawn or look for extra cars in the driveway or three unauthorized dogs in the back yard?

Regardless of the market you choose, please make sure you have reliable boots on the ground (agent, contractor, handyman, bird dog) to check our potential properties and be able to respond in the event of an emergency. 

As someone accustomed to the structured environment of military life, I'm looking for a quiet location where I can feel secure and at ease to walk my dogs around.

I've found that have a small yard and allowing pets increases your application pool.

No "guest" pets or pet-sitting of any kind for any length of stay.   

You can't tell a deal from a dog if you don't know how.

Hey mate,Keep costs at a minimum.If the carpet is good/new.Leave it for now IMO and deal with it at a later date.And can always not accept pet's as per your lease or if you do, charge a pet deposit and monthly pet fee that will assist with any future repair needed caused by pet damage.We own a PM company and do the same.Thanks 

All of a sudden they are wanting to “re-discuss” the lease because the neighbor’s dog barks a lot and they play music in the middle of the night ie 2:30am until 5:30am quite often - week days, weekends, it doesn’t matter.

Former Realtor here, so no dog in this particular hunt.I have always viewed NAR as a cartel.
