I've heard people in this forum suggest that you treat them all like animals.

Early on in my career, I saw a close frend do something similar.. she borrowed from her circle to finance a rural fixer-upper, then paid them back once she refinanced after the rehab.I’m guessing that massive yard plus the barn is already a big selling point for your tenant, especially with a family that wants a little extra room for animals.

If it is a pet, be aware that they could get paperwork saying it is an emotional support animal (if so tell them it needs to be from a local medical professional not a website) or say that they don't have a pet.

In rural Idaho, it is much the same way. the counties have minimum requirements and if you keep things on the up and up, it should be fine.Now, in a historical district, that is a different animal all together.

It is a bit of a different animal.

Either resign yourself to renting a stinking dump, or stick to your lease and get her or the animals out.

I'm also donating to animal shelters in LA area and to LA firefighters - I think some restaurants are giving them free meals.  

I understand that completing long distances BRRRRs is a different kind of animal, so I am hoping to glean insight from investors who have successfully gone down this path.

Usually with  a new coat of kiln and paint the odor will go away.

If you use a neutral color you only have to use one coat most of the time.
