My day job is building automation/ programming/ service.

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. 

I also work a full time job, so the more I can make managing my rentals automated and outsourced, the more units I can manage.

I know with a large number of rentals it has to be automated. 

Automation is key!

Account Closed let me know how it goes - I used their automated application and it gave me a pretty low LTV (like 65%), but if you've talked with an associate and they go higher, please let me know bc I have a situation very similar to yours in Indy as well! 

I am aware of the difference in scenarios between the US and Canada and would appreciate tips on how to use all of the tips from the podcasts and forums on BiggerPockets and apply them to the 250-300K starting price of homes in Calgary and Edmonton, AB.I am consistent in my learning efforts and would like to exchange my savy-ness in MS Excel and spreadsheets automation to help you in return for any applicable knowledge you may want to share.Thanks!

Update: I called one lender, and the automated system was very vague.

Contacted them about an automated tenant move in.

They are fully automated so your leases are done electronically and your rental reports are available on line.
