It breeds a loyalty that can be indispensable, and very profitable.I also recently went into a new market that I didn't have any good contacts in and wanted to talk to a couple different brokers to work out who I wanted to work with long term.

My goal isn't to have lots of showings, it is to have qualified people at the showings.Here is what I include:Description including some details about the location (close to mall, parks, schools, whatever makes the location appealing)Include details about the square feet, number of rooms, bedroom sizes, garage stalls, parking spots, bathroomsTalk about any recent updates like new appliances, new flooring, high efficiency furnaceWhat is the tenant responsible for, list all utilities and lawn care or snow removal Rent and deposit amounts, state when they are due, such as "deposit due upon application acceptance"Pet policy including size restrictions and breed restrictionsDate the property is availableLease terms such as minimum one year lease requiredDo you accept housing vouchers?

My PM charges $200 per dog and $100 per cat as non refundable fee along with pet addendum that list out all the pets breed/weight and clauses for damages done by them has to be paid by them or deducted from security deposit at the end of the lease term.

The only thing I would add would be to, if at all possible, put eyes on the dogs yourself so you can verify their breed, size, and temperament.

On Quora, you check off a bunch of topics you're interested in and get presented with a list of questions, then can pick and choose which to answer.Do you want answers from someone on a real estate forum, or someone picking your question out of a list about sandwiches, real estate, breeding toy poodles, gender politics, and Canadian tourism?

However, in most cases it just breeds bad vibes in your community which could cause a negative impact that you are not expecting. 

That generation is a dying breed.

, we raise rent whenever we have new tenants (about 7-10%; based on other comps in area) and raise only slightly at each renewal period thereafter (about 3% annually).Basics: 3/2/2; 1265sqft; fenced yard; they cover all utilities; we pay for lawn care (mostly so as to not have to deal with HOA); pets welcomed (we charge a fee upfront plus small amount of pet rent - per pet).We also do not have breed restrictions (our insurance does not restrict; but we do require an interview with dog) which is what has kept us afloat for so long (and with 0% vacancy!).

Activity breeds activity.

Also by that point I will be financing roughly 50% LTV.I usually advocate 15 year ammortization and seem to be a rare breed on this but it really made the transition to the next stage a lot easier as I was already conforming with guidelines, just added the balloon wrinkle with an interest rate adjustment at 5 years.Most businesses operate under these terms and even when private money is involved I try to keep them for a shorter term.
