That is, they’re selling REO’s faster than they can foreclose.I think the problem many face is not a lack of REO’s, but a dramatic increase in those willing to overpay to buy them.
Richard Chang Have Duplex Apt Unit - Renting to dog owner ?

You need to call your insurance provider.They will tell you a list of what is okay and not.Mine no aggressive breeds of animals is permitted or they will pull the policy on all the buildings.Rottweiler,Pitt Bull,etc.Some insurance policies have weight exclusions but some do not.Another important factor is the BITE HISTORY of the animal.If it's deemed a non-aggressive breed but that little dog has a bad history of biting people then I won't take the animal.I don't like pet deposits.You have to hold it like a security deposit.Instead I like a one time "pet acceptance fee" that is non-refundable.The tenants will say the pet won't do anything etc. but the amount of pet deposits that actually go back to the tenant after they leave I would guess is very,very small.You can also get the tenant to pay a pet fee per month.With the pet fee you need to figure out the cost of the unit for new carpet and damage to the base boards.The cost to be carpet,pad, and labor to install plus baseboard finish and paint.Used to you could put a vapor barrier between the carpet and the pad but it would be really noisy.Now if you spend just a little more you can get a scotch pad made out of rubber that is stain resistant.Then when you go to replace the carpet the pad is still good.Have in your lease that the tenant will be responsible for clipping claws,neutering,getting rabies and other shots to maintain the health and well being of the animal,etc.
