Even a nice, friendly, litterbox-trained kitty affects the property far more than the same tenant without a cat. 

Our policy is to allow “animals” that are at least 2 years of age (no puppies or kitties), limit 2.  

Be clear about why - all the suck is less sucky with a strong why, and all the gold glitters less without one.

Also note that a kitty or puppy are a bad idea in any case.

Then it was demo time.I decided to do the most difficult task first, which was to rip out a kitty-litter filled bathtub.

No late night calls because the toilet didn't flush the kitty litter and is now overflowing.

If you started out buying a property that started to have negative cash flow (which is just like you adding chips to the kitty knowing that you had a poor chance of winning but you couldn't just let those original chips you put in go).

Make sure you can feed the kitty.

A leak like that I'd tell him to clean it & do as, Michaela Graham said to do with the cookie sheet & kitty litter.

Now, I have raised pretty big kitty(especially for my market) but the some of these folks are wanting more of a equity partnership vs a set 10-12 return.
