I've also heard of state 'checkers' contacting you/ calling to ask if you accept children and service animals as well. 

Considering the current multifamily frenzy, and the abyssal level of amateurism and lack of integrity of a skyrocketing number of new syndicators inspired by re gurus it is very likely that some wanna be syndicator will close your property to earn his sponsor fee even if it results in zero gain or a net loss to his investorsThere is no right or wrong, but if you want to pursue more multifamily projects and wonder what works best as an investment product, my feeling is that your return/time on a large project will likely be the same than for dozens of 4plex at the end of the day.

We're talking the children of the long-term and awesome neighbors, people who would look out for each other - I love that stuff.Well, I ended up taking $750 for both units.

We want to buy properties in our neighborhood to bring great renters into our community that we love and are raising our children in.

We want to travel and to go to our children’s game after school and don’t be stressed from the 9-5 grind and stress from bills snd being upside down on the car.

And, vinyl flooring may be an important source of children's exposure to BBzP via indoor air (per www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).  

I can relate as your the age of my children..

I was rather thinking of a series LLC setup with a Delaware trust construct so that one really has 1 LLC with multiple children.

Grandson and daughter we sooooo happy to sell.Next group of properties, divorced couple, man out of country with new young wife, ex-wife stuck managing rentals in her seventies...really happy to sell.Next group, ill, 84 year old owner with kids in medicine and law who didn't want poorly maintained rentals.Next triplex, inherited property owned by OOS children of original owner.

It's a diplomatic way to say NO, gets the point across, is easier for tenants to accept, and better for maintaining an amicable relationship.As others have mentioned, there are other options available to the tenant for containing and controlling his dog without encumbering you.Realize that a fenced in yard with a 6 foot fence will attract dog owners and families with children and those who want a great amount of privacy (for either good or bad reasons).
