Same with the immigrants eating cats and dogs comment he made: fake story and the original fake story was actually about immigrants eating ducks, not pets.

She found a house, i paid the usual fees (pet deposit, security deposit, first month rent.)

In order to align your goal with theirs you SHOULD pay them a percentage of all revenue - rent, late fees, water charges, parking fees, pet fees, etc.Second, the PM isn't taking anything, they are earning it by doing the things that the owner cannot or does not want to do.Third, I don't know of many PM's out there that actually want higher expenses for the owner.

We have previously had a firm no pet policy.  

The top three pet-friendly cities are all located in Texas, with Dallas leading the pack at 79% pet-friendly rental listings, followed closely by Austin and San Antonio.

The cost is as low as $20 per pet profile.

Believe it our not, we still have a lot of success with Craig's list, though not sure if it'll work with newer build assets.I would try to build relationships with businesses that your residents use, such as pet stores, restaurants, dry cleaners, etc.

Also do you allow pets?

I've actually done both, but typically when it's more than 2 people, pets, or kids are involved. 

The real problem is that the vast number of beginning investors never bother to learn their state landlord tenant codes before they invest.This is my pet peeve with new investors...trying to operate a business requiring knowing the law without having the desire to learn.They should never be allowed near tenants, they need a PM.On the other hand responsible investors that learn the laws first I would strongly advise self managing.
