The previous owner had pets.

Not surprised as it’s just me and my wife who live here and we have no pets, are very clean, and don’t smoke.

I have been reading (and witnessing) that there is a lot more domestic travel during this time and I live in New York so both locations are a close weekend getaway that during more normal times people love to take for hiking, skiing etc... 

Another common one is deceased household pets. apparently people flush more than just gold fish. eww.one of my septic inspectors even found a human skull.

- do you own any type of pet or animal? 

The way I run my pet fee is as follows:Refundable pet deposit of 200$ and a monthly pet rent of about $25-$50 depending on the pet.

Throw in pet animals also for my niece who is a traveling physical therapist.How can you take the above and make more money than other MFH investors?  

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee and pass my credit/criminal background, they must make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.
