If the dog is doing well, leave it alone.I will recommend you change your practice.

G'Day everyone,Today I'd like to talk about a few misconceptions that I see in the market.I've been reading about many investors believing that they are getting a better/safer deal if they are using leverage.They believe this because of the fact that most lenders require an appraisal and a building inspection.So let me explain a few things and burst your bubble lolMany operations like Ohio Cashflow's will usually have a monopoly in the region that they operate in.They tend to be the biggest buyer in town so over time they establish relationships with city inspectors, judges, lenders and "Yes" building inspectors and appraisers.Many will enforce you to go through their "trusted lender".This might be to make the process smoother but it can also be to influence the end result.After 10 years in the business and 1,000+ deals under my belt, trust me when I say that it's not that hard to influence a building inspector or appraiser to "Bat" in your favor.Also, just think about the thousands of comparable sales sold by the same company that can now be used as a comp when conducting an appraisal on the target property.I don't really have a dog in the fight because we loose 90% of business due to our stubborn "No financing" policy.But I just want to point out some things to folks that might not know/understand how the wonderful world of real estate works.We sure do loose a lot of business because of our ways, but to be honest I'm proud of it as our boutique approach has enabled us to have one of the best reputations in the business.Recently a few folks have mentioned that Ohio Cashflow does not allowing building inspections or appraisals.This is not true.Every investor can freely conduct both.We just state that we won't fix all of items that the building reports shows.Why?

Once this kind of group hind a dog to a pet-free property.

The property was named and designed to market to people with dogs.

I quickly observed the tenant had a dog, a roommate, and an Olympic weight set - none of which was allowed per the lease.

First time homeowner here (since 2020)…I really want to move out of my current home because it is too large for me and my two dogs and I hate cleaning so much space (refuse to pay someone to do it haha)it’s a 3BR/2.5BA, two stories, 2565 sq ft on a 7000 lot with a huge pool in the backyard.

They know they are responsible for picking up the dog poop and will be responsible for any damages to their unit.

Hmmm, guess you didn't notice that @Michael Plaks is an "Enrolled Agent".There are hot dog vendors, there are fast food cooks, there are sit down resaurant cooks and there are fine dining chefs.
