I do pretty much like more SD than SA, but as you asked, the money that I have to invest it aint that much, goes between 30-40K to start and will be definitely for long term, as I said, I´m a beginner in this business in the US, as commons says I´m at the baby steps stage right now.

If you were to say to them, for example, "I see you have a baby coming, so I'm not going to renew your lease since you are regularly late paying now

If we bite off people’s heads when they admit disaster, it suppresses legitimate issues with these techniques. 

Congrats on your baby boy!

Makes me think they could be too busy taking care of a new baby to attend to guest issues? 

It hits every nail on the head and I see it everyday where everyone acts like sheep and just follows the herd because some guru told them too.

The core problem is marketing.Marketing 101: Target the right audience with the right message.Here’s the truth: it doesn’t matter how much ketchup you put on a baby-cow burger—vegans won’t buy it.

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business. 

If someone was willing to rent to you with 5 dogs and the stray and her babies are short term, they may not have a problem. 

However, as I mentioned in my original post, my immediate goal is to move out of our current townhouse into a larger single-family home that better suits my family’s needs (we have a baby and a big dog).
