That would probably fall down a few times as the tenant puts too much weight on the bar and screws up the paint.

These may not factor into the same distribution, but can be placed in another score that could weight similar metros against each other:Diversity of business types / employers.

When you go 5 plus units or commercial the weight is given to the income approach although the comparable sales and cost approach can still be a factor.People tend to over complicate things.When you buy a value add property you have a GOING IN cap rate.

The high height keeps heftier tenants from slamming their weight down on the stool.  

If that shows you have a high net worth, that would help hold some weight as well.It's worth getting an in person meeting with a local bank commercial loan officer (don't ask for a consumer loan officer) explain that you want to build a relationship with their bank and want to know their requirements for commercial loans on rental properties.

@Tim Porsche In situations like this we more heavily weight the credit and ask for 1.5 or 2 months security.  

By first class I mean they are $600+/week, free breakfast, indoor pool, weight room, meeting center, etc. 

There are many different ways to charge a tenant for allowing a pet: Flat additional rent per month, higher security deposit, pet admin fees, fee per pet, fee based on the weight / breed of pet, etc.We have tried several different ways and found that charging an upfront non-refundable 'pet admin' fee works best for us.

But a good property manager is worth his/her weight in gold.

Any title agent worth their weight in dirt should be able to answer that for you.I would focus more on finding the next of kin and getting a contract.
