Vincent,I respectfully disagree with virtually everything you've said.  

We will see how much feedback we get.So far the pro's that I have heard that telling them you are the owner gets you more respect from the tenants and that you can build better relationships with tenants to have them stay longer.  

The self dealing aspect is what gives Real Estate agents a "bad image" ( I could have used more colorful language but out of respect did not).  

I respect that any comments, replies, or suggestions are for entertainment purposes only and not considered legally binding. 

And you should honor and respect those opinions.  

After doing more research, I found that DORA states that a “Real estate broker” does not apply to any person acting personally acting as principal in acquiring or in negotiating to acquire any interest in real estate, or any person acting personally with respect to property owned or leased by that person....However, Article 1 of of the National Association of Realtors code of ethics states "Realtors®, when acting as principals in a real estate transaction, remain obligated by the duties imposed by the Code of Ethics." which includes all of the disclosure requirements.I found that the requirement to run all transactions thru the employing Brokerage comes from their rules that require them to monitor all transactions from employed brokers. 

However, I would also have a heart to heart with them to let them know that you know they are in violation of their lease and of course have them sign another addendum with a forewarning that a third pet will bring about an increased pet deposit or a charge of additional pet rent.I think that any damage a dog may do to a house is a direct result of how well they respect and/or are trained by their owner.

You have to know someone extremely well to trust them with the mutual respect that this relationship requires.   

This assumes that you have not commingled assets between LLCs and that you respected the corporate form.  

To get LLC protection against creditors, you must respect the separate legal entity.
