Great resource in and of itself but there's also a free companion course online.

An FHA 203k (or Fannie Mae's companion program "HomeStyle") are (IMHO) great options for buying a fixer.You can write an as-is offer (which may give you some negotiating leverage on a fixer) and finance all of the renovation costs in with the purchase.Your down payment is based on the "acquisition cost", which is the aggregate of the hard and soft construction costs (actual bids + permits + engineering + design +renovation related loan fees).These loans do take some extra leg-work on the front end.

So far Farmers is really the only somewhat realistic option, but even that is a companion policy to the California FAIR plan.

As a side note, you can never charge a pet fee or deposit for a service or companion/comfort animal. 

.: but then what happens if that person is the one who breaks up with his/her companion and moves out in a huff??

She included a letter from her son's psychologist, which recommended she adopt a canine companion for her son.

I would recommend being more concerned about the dog's human companions (owners).

The answer is yes you need to rent to people with service and companion pets.In my area there is the Bureau of Labor and Industries BOLI who has testers looking for landlords that discriminate.

They are fantastic and make a great driving companion!
