I try to compare amenities,  but these houses don't have their own pools, most don't allow pets,  and they don't look that much better renovated.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Regarding pet allowance, do people usually request to leave the pets in the front or back yard?

Are there other advantages you can advertise like pet friendly etc?  

We use petscreening.com they screen the pets legal documents and follow all applicable laws per your state. 

My PM does do pet insurance and covers damages from pets, but that is part of the regular monthly fee.

Second, accept pets.

Example belowwe found a house for 900 a month rent Asking price was 59900. taxes 1400, insurance 800, renovation budget 25k mostly cosmetic and minor fixeswe went into it expecting a 15% return on our cash out  that gave us a expected cash out loan around 75k to get our 1.4 dscr   When we plugged our numbers  we could go over 47k on our offer to make the deal work  we offered 43 and got counter 47,5  we took the deal assume a slightly lower 1.38 dscrthe key is to scale and be selective on tenants AND not allowing pets (you can offer them but suggest crazy fees to cover yourself)  500 pet fee, 25 a month per pet etc.  

What are your biggest pet peeves about working with an agent?
