I remember researching EB-5 visas for the owner of a prior company, as he was trying to build a pet project corporate retreat/hotel/ranch. 

i think the litmus test is where your pet is!

Being someone who had to pay pet fees and pet rent when I rented recently, I feel differently about this issue.  

I'm looking at contracting a property to wholesale. the property has a horrible pet odor in it and theres no flooring anywhere.

Are there anythings that will cause problems with getting the insurance (knob & tube wiring, aluminum wiring, flat roof, tenants with aggressive pets, not lead safe, Asbestos siding/roofing, etc.)If you have any questions on the things I've mentioned please do not hesitate to PM me.

Not really sure what your goal is in regards to making your life more difficult.There is no logic in a pet owner buying a rattle snake to experience a snake bite.If you want to do section 8 modify your screening for that purpose, concentrate on credit history and previous landlords as most on welfare are not measured by income. 

We have rehabbed houses and apartments that had terrible damage from tobacco smoke as well as pets.  

The things that a lot of renters seem have in common:  Smoking, Pets, Car Payments and  Expensive Cable TV Service.I will not rent to a smoker unless I am desperate for a tenant.  

We have a minimum score to qualify and the deposit is on a sliding scale depending on the score, with additional deposit amounts for poor history like BK and/or personal factors like pets.

Was there a pet on the premises?
