I do projects for a couple of clients with special privacy needs where part of what I'm paid to do is shield them from the contractors and cause as little disruption as possible.

@Theo, there are indeed a ton of opportunities to disrupt and open up the real estate investment market.

Also, we had the misfortune of having rude and disruptive neighbors & because of that we had to take care of the situation or get rid of the dog & the latter was never on the table.And then for the pro-rate..in Ohio we had it set up that way & we experienced as well with our previous landlord, here in Milwaukee.

State laws may also apply, see this link for details:http://www.assistancedogsinternational.org/access-and-laws/adi-guide-to-assistance-dog-laws/I recommend when people request an exception to pet policies that landlords follow the "Assistance Dogs International ADI Guidelines" for the different types of assistance dogs. website=> http://www.assistancedogsinternational.org Tenants who have service animals must not be disruptive and must be house trained so the same cleaning & barking rules that apply to other pet owner apply to service animals.

If the landlord is adamant about circumventing offensive, foul, disruptive and etc... odors, not renting to thugs/felons, sex offenders, and any other "preferences" is by being more active and thorough in screening which can be as legally intensive as he/she wishes although they will be walking that thin line!

Every day in our "path to real estate wealth" we run into rooms filled with gunpowder ready to blow us up, or another attempt to kill our dreams, or another plot to disrupt our plans.

Replacing a tub can be a major disruption if you are living in the unit.

I always suggest doing these invisible repairs upfront so you don't have to disrupt the tenants later.

Very few people want to live next to a train track that is in active use as the trains are loud and disruptive and can also cause vibrations which in extreme cases cause dishes to rattle.Only buy it at a price that is reasonably below the resale price.

I am thinking that the disruption of construciton is a given downside but am unclear whether this might be accretive to the value of my home or impact it negatively in the mid-long term.Thanks in advance for any advice or insight that you can share.Tylor
