They are a 2 parent household with two children under 10yrs old, no pets, both adults are working and have been living in this building I bought for years.

Marbella Towers Condominium Complex is investors friendly, allow rental the first year of ownership, and short-term rental too; no pets allow in the building.

Buyers are waiving home inspections, termite inspections, surveys, and giving up reasonable asks like cleaning and pet treatment to be competitive.

In the signed leases, I included a pet policy for the carriage house and the upstairs unit in the duplex.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I found this deal from Nextdoor (believe it or not, for once it was used NOT for losing a pet...).

Does their current lease say no pets or just not mention allowing pets?

Tenants and tenant candidates lie about having pets!

You can also compete on other things like included lawn care, pets allowed, stuff that tenants care about but also benefits you by allowing a better price.
