Seems the original guys girlfriend had a couple, the brother had at least one, his girlfriend had two and the original guy who contacted me said he had two and they lived with the ex-wife but once they saw how nice this house was he was sure they'd want to live here too.At this point it was hard to keep a straight face talking to this herd  of humans but I did manage to ask them where they were currently residing. 

It would set us apart from the herd in a major way.In a small market like mine, referrals from one good tenant to a friend are huge.

I cant fathom the thought of following the herd and renting(paying another persons debt) being closed minded and thinking "i cant afford it".

Brush killer/ivy killer seems to work if mixed with dieselA large herd of goats! 

Unless you're talking about foot thick concrete, it will sound like  a herd of elephants upstairs.What I would do is ask the downstairs unit if they would stay if you got rid of the upstairs problem. 

In C-class SFR, one of the most dangerous things to do is follow the herd and jump the rent up as high as you think you can, looking to maximize your property ROI.

Would it be a mistake to rent to people with a herd of canines or lower the fee?

To go against the herd is one thing, but to not know who your tenants truly are before allowing them to occupy your property is another.Why not get their basic information (DOB and SSN) so you can run a free background check and check for evictions and judgments?  

Most likely not until a vaccine, anti-viral or herd immunity kicks in.

I have taken advantage of the stock market and housing market when the herd took trillions out of the market, I bought.
