I've always been obsessed with real estate- my Mom tells me instead of having tea parties with stuffed animals when I was 4 years old, I haggled commercial real estate deals with them.

Have your stuff ready - teflon tape and/or pipe dope (I personally like a nice coating of pipe dope if you have a pisser pipe as it's water indifferent), new valve in the open position, wrenches.

For retail especially if national tenants where the lease is backed by thousands of locations you have a property manager but really not much to do on those.If you owned a retail center with all mom and pop type tenants that is a different animal completely.Typically 25 to 35% down depending if you want full recourse on the loan, partial recourse, or 100% non-recourse ( still has carve out language for fraud,filing bankruptcy,etc.)Cash on cash is about 8 to 9% going in with a 7 plus cap rate property using leverage.

Service animals CANNOT be restricted.

I've been in homes destroyed by animals and it doesn't smell this bad.

Any of you have tenants with this type of animal?

Try to get an estimate from a company that will not dig up, but coat the inside with epoxy.
