I'm convinced the economy that continues to plow it's way forward is a completely different animal than the economy we know and understand back home in the states.   

I feel like that’s for people who have a lot of upfront cash so should I start with the 4plex and house hack . ( mind you I will have a down payment and not be over leveraged) All responses are appreciated  You're both right.16 units is a different animal requiring different financing. 

All those cute commercials with cute animals!

You just enforce the lease and life will be easier .dont be a push over and agree to the animals.

I want to see a local law that supersedes Federal law.Now pets,  who aren't support animals,  you can limit.  

(side note-she requested her pet deposit back and since the animal had done no damage, I returned it, with HIS permission)HE requests her off the lease but wouldn't sign a new lease; issue subsidesHE requests to sublease the unit-I do not sublease; issue subsidesHE states he is moving in with his new girlfriend and wants to break the lease.

Certain animals, and certain breeds of animals, have a significantly higher risk of injuring or killing people in those animals should not be allowed in your rentals, particularly when your insurance makes it clear they will not cover you.

And that whole road after the wild animal park turn off has been totally redone. 

Bonus guess: a small animal drowned in it. 

From my agricultural roots, I think of planting seeds and eating the resulting vegetables and fruits (or killing and eating the animals that eat the vegetables and fruits).
