As stated no big dogs,  no pit,  no pit mixes.   

Some of the things I ask for include copies of DL, pay stubs, past rental references, proof of renters insurance, and copies of vaccination/rabies certificates for dogs (after I’ve met their pets).

It's a family of four with a single dog under 20 pounds.

If they own multiple units backing the lease you want to check which ones they are backing it with ( the dogs, the average ones, or the stellar performing locations).

Or, as my best friend advises: to continue running my small dog walking company and hunt for deals (20-60 units) in the moonlight to bring to him to partner on a deal to bring to their investors?

Do good work and let the big dogs open some doors for you.

Hello, Im New to Real Estate, im looking to make Income Right Away, i would like to try Bird Dogging but i need to get started with someone who is already or has already Bird Dog, im in Central New Jersey & Close to the Philadelphia Area and South Jersey.

I do find it odd that they just say there is nothing they can do, though I know the tenant has dogs, and am not sure if that is part of the equation.

I make damn good pizza and can exchange dog training advice in exchange for real estate knowledge.

You think back and realize that the illegal ferrets look good now.They don't know that you know and you ignore it and pretend you don't know anything about the pets.You could say you know about the ferrets and you are disappointing they didn't tell you about them, but you are willing to waive this one lease violation provided that the ferrets don't cause any issues.I think the ferrets will cause less trouble than dogs or cats so I would try and work out something or ignore it to keep an otherwise good tenant.
