If a car...a person...an animal is running at full speed and then its a brick wall...It'll eventually get back to running at full speed...but it'll take some time. 

Just make sure it's at least close to what you want.My old college buddy's wife just recently posted on how she wants to make her French bulldog puppy get used to wearing cute little sweaters, so she wants suggestions on how to train the animal.

Bring a real estate agent is required in some states and also gives you credibility with owners who are looking to sign with a company.Make sure you have a good lease, a good management agreement and excellent people skills.Know everything there is to know about Fair housing, legal requirements of rental properties in your states, the difference between a pet and a service animal and a comfort animal and which ones you can decline if you want.

@Bill Gulley  the only double closings I have ever done is in the realm of taking bareland and getting full development entitlements then flipping the pre plat to a builder like Lennar or Horton.. they don't care what we make and I have made upwards of 500k flipping a single plat .. but I also risked 50 to 80k or more going through the entitlement process..flipping SFR's is a different animal and the value is usually TAKEN from the SELLER and given to the middle man  then on sold there is no value add

Fair housing is increasingly being applied in student housing on campus with things like emotional support animals being forced into the properties.
