We do not allow pets so two of them decided not to book for that reason.Hope that helps.

Start small and cut your teeth on the basics and progress from there like SFRS, MFRs, Commercial, Land development, etc...

That way, you have some teeth in your agreement and allows you to execute later on after you have made the repairs but keep the current financing in place. 

Read books and talk on the forum to better understand why the PM screens the way they do, how they handle late rent, what to do when the tenant wants to break the lease early, when to allow pets or not, etc.

You bought an office on a corner lot on a very busy Main Street for $360,000.If it were mine, If zoning allows restaurants, I'd be thinking about Chipotle, Starbucks, 24 hour Taco Cabana.If not food service zoned, I'd be thinking about a Pet Vet, hair salon with an experienced operator opening a 2nd location, a dentist, a 24 hour Auto Zone.

Maybe try this:https://www.apartments.com/gurnee-il/pet-friendly/Run a list for each city you are interest in and just check cats and then check dogs (under the more).Good Luck!

How will you handle marketing, screening, collecting deposit, dealing with late rent, approving or denying a pet, dealing with lease violations?

Fellow landlords, I’m deciding between two tenants for my 2bd 1ba unit (rent $1500) and would like your input.COUPLE A:-both work in retail with a combined income of $80k/year-no kids-no pets COUPLE B:-husband sole earner with $100k/year (On H1-B visa) -wife is on a dependent visa and not allowed to work-2 kids-no petsWe’ve met them both and are impressed with them.

I drove all over rental florida to find a neighborhood that allowed short term rentals and pets.

Personally I don't want one of the tenants because they broke their lease by getting a pet, when their current lease states, "No Pets" and the current owner has had several issues with the renter.
