I had a no pet policy on the property.

Location, location, location.Mine is on the edge of Scottsdale in North Phoenix, with king & queen beds, 5 bed 3 bath, pool, pets allowed, views of the mountains, safe neighborhood and easy drive to where the Superbowl is being played, the TPC where the golf tournament is, near spring training, near hospitals so families can have a place to stay when grandpa is having a splinter removed from his buttocks, near old town Scottsdale and near where everything is happening.

If I have those three, plus all the other criteria are met (income, pets, etc), and my gut agrees, then I'm good.

She kept yelling a name....I didn't know what to do, it wasn't serious enough for the cops, but still.....Turns out her pet rabbit had died and was buried there - well maybe...she was high as a kite on meth....

Having a no pet policy let's you avoid all of this.

I pass all pet fees to the owner.

Groups that have not done that before and were living on 15% organic rent bumps and expanding cap rates are going to hate life and build character, starting about six months ago.Groups that are not good at this and dont put in the time and effort will loose their capital and their investors capital and move on to crypto or pet rocks.   

They truly are looking for leaks, cracks, etc but are also changing air filters and are on the lookout for things like evidence of pets when the tenant claims they don't have a pet. 

Almost like accusing someone of abandoning their child or pet when they had it.

Do they have a pet alligator on a leash?
