and city wanted me to go door to door to warn people to watch their cats and small dogs.

I have a tenant who has totally trashed the unit, has not had electric or heat on in over three weeks, and has left a dog and two cats in unit.

I have found value in following the path of progress and researching where the big dogs (Publix, chick-fil-a, Walmart) are opening new stores.

I've spent a lot of time figuring out what is the best way for me to get started in real estate. I've decided since I don't have the money to invest in real estate myself that I want to find deals for others and essen...

2 Property management- hacks on how to manage from a distance as I will be moving due to military. 3 tenant will have two dogs any hacks on how to dog proof a backyard/back door from dogs?

You need to have a complete dog and pony show for your investor, not something that you both will make up on the fly.

When I was house hacking back in the day (long before the term “house hacking” existed, we just called it a flop house then), I rented to both friends and strangers at different times and had a MUCH better experience with my friends. 5 years with friends, never had a single issue: no late rent payments at all and no drama even with 8 of us and 4 dogs in a 4/3 sharing a tiny kitchen, usually with a few dirt bag climbers couch surfing or crashing in their vans outside too.

We have hosted a lot of dog owners because they were glad to be able to bring the dog.

We’ve all been doing this since before this type of service was available so perhaps we’re just old dogs.

Renting out rooms isn’t a feasible option for me as we have dogs who are not so stranger friendly so we’re looking for a property with a separate casita/guest house to rent out.
