In NM, emotional support animals are classified as assistive animals that cannot be discriminated against. 

Here’s the issue...A lot of the ins and outs are new to me because I’ve been working mostly in single family residential with a short term hold and have yet to venture into the longer term buy, rent, reno, refi and exit arena...it’s a different animal all together.

Plus, the animals tend to scratch on walls and doors and dig all kinds of holes in the yard.

The appraiser used one of the same comps.The refi and HELOC are different animals with different risk positions for lenders.

Once you think you have found a deal, those folks can take a look at it and save you from making a big mistake in some cases.Investing and being an active Realtor (working with buyers and sellers) are two very different animals.

In texas whether you are buying for cash or bartering with guns and animals the property HAS to be under contract to open title.Sounds like you need to educate your sellers a little bit on the process.

Oh and you also catch animals that should not be there.

Having a good realtor at your side will make the process work much smoother.
