Always fall back on that - then your emotions don’t get tied in.

They have no means/way to build a ramp and I just can't imagine adding to their huge burden of a horrible disease.Am I being too emotional about this?  

I don't get caught up in emotional bidding wars either.

I advise my clients to buy after reading P/L Statement from CPA, not emotion or "Gut" feeling, ...Short Term: Kihei or Kona offers better dealsLong Term: Puna homes are lowest in Hawaii for purchase but fairly good ROI for long termhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8050/48883-buy-a-hawaii-vacation-rental-and-have-it-pay-for-itself-unicorn-alert

You should not worry about "being a pain in the a**", this is a legal transaction - free of emotions - which the owner/investor should be delighted to have a solid contract before the project is complete.2. 

Good screening+good tenants+incentive=little to no pet damage, and no "emotional support" bs to circumvent pet policies.

More debt can be harder to manage both finicaly and or emotionally...Cashflow is great, but like others said it is a lot slower....

Guests are basically wanting to be treated like the prom Queen and we are a guy that wants to sleeP with them haha. thankfully I work in psychiatry and understand the emotions underlying ridiculous behavior and respond to the emotion not the behavior (the same as I would if I were working on the psych unit). 

If you do not allow them, you lose out to half the renters in the market or the renters will just get a fake prescription for an emotional support animal and you'll be forced to allow the animal but not allowed to monetize it.Instead of rejecting animals, figure out how to protect yourself while monetizing it.Personally, about 1/3 of my rentals allow animals and we rarely have a problem that's not covered by the security deposit.

However, in my opinion, what we are speaking of currently is not a financial or defensive question, it is a decision based solely on emotions.
