When changing carpet after pet damage, odor block any stains with primer.

Proposed pets (size/breeds)4.)

A few days later, we collected the lease for the current tenant and came to find out that the rent is only $850, with a $150 pet fee (3 pets at $50 each).

Everyone has their own strict policies when trying to find a tenant so if you're aiming for higher credit, good salary, no pets, etc you will find it but will take a few extra weeks.

"We do not allow emotional support animals - no pets".

Might also be wise to target the younger generation before they get too far into a career or college path.Household income must be 3 times the “Monthly Operation Payment”.Create unique opportunities to create income from excess space in a property (vacation/air bnb, temp housing for travel nurse, students, etc.)Residents may choose to use roommates to meet this requirement.Pet owners buy all the flooring instead of a pet deposit.

Many people have asked about pet and pet deposits. 

Oh, another thing to consider: Figure out your stance on pets.

For my rental ...the first year I was only breaking even once everything was covered but for the upcoming year I will have positive cashflow but not a vast amount due to increasing the rent, allowing pets etc There is a future lrt coming (due to start next year)  it will have 3 stations in close proximity of the house and I am hoping that this will also add appreciation 

However, You are so typical of many investors and it is one of my pet peeves.
