The problem you will run into if you want to do this through the HOA is that there will be a small yet vocal group of pet owners and animal lovers that insist that treating for mice is harmful to their pets or cruel to the mice. 

Development is definitely its own animal, so make sure you have a solid grasp on the financial side of the process. 

I also do not charge a pet deposit or pet rent because I believe our animals are family.

Thanks, BrianYeah tax planning is a different animal than tax prep. 

In addition, the owner of the home must not own more than three single-family homes.3) They are unable to provide sufficient documentation, such as the emotional support animal letter, that verifies the ESA is necessary for their health and well-being.4) The tenant provides fraudulent documentation attesting to their need for an emotional support animal (usually a fake emotional support animal letter).5) The landlord can demonstrate that making accommodations for an ESA would impose undue financial burden or logistical burden. 6) The animal is destructive to the property or displays threatening behaviors that could put other tenants or yourself at risk.7) The size or nature of the animal makes it impossible to house safely or humanely.

That's a whole different animal....then you assume all of the risk and liability.

How many animals do you have?   

Purchase price: $68,000 Cash invested: $5,000 Sale price: $99,000 4 Unit quad in Medina NYRenters were tough and management company's locations are too far for a regular check up.Had a renter pass away and then DCS came in and the house was condemned due to farm animals in the upstairs unit where the person passed.We were too far to keep tabs on this investment so we sold the home.

I have a tenant with 2 certified service animals (dogs).

Make sure you get a "Release Fee" on each property; this is an amount that is to be paid to release a property as collateral in the event you need to sell, or if you have an insurance loss that insurance proceeds will be applied to the subject property and not to the whole loan keeping you stuck with an encumbered damaged property, remember they don't make construction loans as a second and the blanket loan won't subordinate (usually) to another lender, it could get messy, so have a release fee stated and understand how payments will be applied.A line of credit is not a blanket mortgage but a line of credit can use other collateral, different animal and it may or may not fit you needs.
