Also, a good realtor (yes I did say good, not just any old realtor) is worth their weight in gold.

My PM charges $200 per dog and $100 per cat as non refundable fee along with pet addendum that list out all the pets breed/weight and clauses for damages done by them has to be paid by them or deducted from security deposit at the end of the lease term.

When considering a future in landlording, how much weight should I put in property taxes? 

Weight the options and compare against the ultimate goal.

My partner broke his foot and had surgery done a month ago, the doctors tell him he can't put much weight on it for another 3 weeks. 

Also, most wholesalers worth their weight aren't dealing in listed properties.  

This means the brick is just a facade to the structure and is not carrying weight.

Most stories I've heard from other landlords who had many problems with tenants was that they can have fraudulent references/ rental history so unless you can verify through a legitimate PM company it doesnt carry much weight.

Some are genius and worth their weight in gold, some are just holding motivational rah rah events upselling their next event which will do nothing for you.

Clearly the lender factors in credit score and that carries a lot of weight in the decision.
