Primo is right in that you need to have some put aside before you cut the leash.

Brian Hoyt, the "status" thing is the young guys who think it's macho to have a pit walking on a leash that's made from chain.

You would need something sturdy to put them on while stamping and a hammer to whack them.

I already have 2 units that I purchased 11/21, rehabbed, and self manage which surpass the 1% rule, and yield a 14.5% CoC return so I'm comfortable with the physical work, property management, and associated risk.Now, I'm at the end of my knowledge leash so I'm turning to the pros at my BP home.  

A family with an average annual income of 50-60k and the standard 2 children wants solid and sturdy construction and is not worried about granite counter tops and crystal chandeliers that their darlings will just be pulling out of the ceiling when they swing on them.

You are allowed to establish reasonable rules for the animals, such as requiring a current Vet's health report and verification of current vaccines; must be on leash or in carrier on common areas and in stairwells, elevators, or other tight spaces.

Ok, in the interest in offering the best advice to folks who wouldnt be asking questions if they had a professional at their disposal, please put a leash on your ego and explain the process your guys used in detail.

I'm still playing it by ear and investing in the (2) properties I have under contract also to stay a bit more liquid and happy I went with single family homes that have sturdy fences for my tenants to ward off this superbug.

Tenant is liable for animal damages, must pick up after dog poops, clean out their kitty litter box regularly, obey leash laws, etc etc etc...(4) Have your lease amended saying if a tenant is prescribed a ESA during their lease they must first clear it with you and provide documentation and allow you to verify, failure to obtain written permission from landlord prior to introducing an ESA is a lease violation.(5) Also clarify that if an accommodation is a no pet accommodation, an verified and documented ESA requires the landlord to waive the no pet clause, only for that specific ESA. 

We self manage all of our homes and keep a "very" tight leash over our expenses.
