The main people who are interested in yards tend to be families and pet owners (and scumbag tenants who thing your screening processes are less rigorous than apartments).

Where I invest the health dept will hold the owner responsible for extermination.

(late fee, pet deposit, lease violation,returned checks)12extra duties fee.

Anyway, I moved back to LA because of some family health issues.

Also, aren't there tricks to selling for above appraised if needed (ie: keeping rent/pet deposits, selling appliances separately)?

Add in health care expenses and it's clearly not feasible.

A maximum of two (2) pets are allowed per house and not to exceed 30 pound weight limit.

I'm just wondering if that lengthy of a lease would evercreate a legal issue in terms of complexity as a basisfor a tenant claiming they didn't know so-and-so clause waseven the lease (i.e. like no pets).

After taking last year off to become a Natural Foods Chef and a Nutrition and Health Coach, I have come back into Mortgage Lending with more energy and excitement than ever!

A little background about me, I hold a full time day job (and make pretty decent money) which provides me with good health insurance (have an 8 month old at home) and also run a contracting business on the side (which makes pretty decent money as well), but am really looking to begin investing in real estate to provide me with the flexibility/reward for hard work, as I had when I owned another business 10 years ago.
