I was quoted an additional $70 to have it done.At first glance seems like it's worth having done and if it is detected negotiating it out with the seller.

I will look for a landlord/tenant lawyer to add it to the lease when my tenant gives me the move out date.It's good to hear everyone is have good experiences with Cozy

I used this property(my first rental) as a cash generator/stabilizer for my additional rental properties.

@Kai Van LeuvenCouole thoughts on the pet policy.Yes it’s fairly standard to charge an additional security deposit ( as carpets will most likely require additional attention for pet hair).

One additional factor that helped me in the early stages of REI was having the advice of a trusted real estate agent.
