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.

People sign leases stating that they agree to no pet policies all the time, yet, they still bring them in.

For me it was all groovy with 8 people living in a 4 bedroom house with 4 dogs for a few years, as we were all friends.

Personally, I started out as a bird dog and wholesaler finding deals for other investors in single-family homes.

Love me, love my dog.

We also spoke with the unwanted guest's probation officer who told us he had his hands tied and couldn't force the unwanted guest to leave my rental.Based on all of this information, we decided to give the main tenant one last chance to clean up his act as we felt bad kicking out an old veteran with a dog in the winter.

I don't personally want to do a room by room house hack because I have a girlfriend and a dog so privacy is important.

It also gives us a chance to see whether they have any pets that weren't disclosed in the lease - pretty common actually.

This is very desirable since you can comfortably live with a girlfriend/dog/whatever, and not lose comfort.Buying a SFH, building rooms, renting every room and sharing your room will almost certainly cashflow in most markets (outside of VHCOL cities).

The carpet in my single family has to go due to dog smell in the carpet padding.
