Property taxes, insurance, utilities, HOA fees and loan/financing costs are some of the ones I've recently learned about.

Our house is in Spring, Tx and with the growth that's been going on in Houston, I really think the long term housing market is pretty solid.Monthly Expenses:Mortgage Payment - $1,042.85 (Includes P&I, Insurance, and Taxes)HOA Dues - $45Repairs/Maintenance - $257 (Roof, HVAC, and Water Heater are from 2016 - plumbing is all galvanized)Property Management -  $160Total Expenses - $1,504.85Estimated Rent - $1,600It's a pretty thin estimated monthly margin of $95.

If they pass that portion, then you can confront them about the extra dogs and ask for more rent for the additional dogs and a higher security deposit because more pets = more property damage.If you do rent to them, an important note is that many insurance companies don't cover pets like pitbulls when it comes to lawsuits so make sure you are aware of the specific laws in your city/state when it comes to high risk pets. 

The experienced landlords in the Greenville-Spartanburg, SC area tell me that there was a time when two months’ rent could pay property taxes and insurance for a SFH.

I would suggest getting umbrella insurance.

We have an awesome exterminator and learn they can come through the plumbing.

It makes you eat the bank's insurance, so to speak, because if you accept the cheaper price, and the buyer defaults, the bank knows it can get its ratio back out of the property. 

says to address the land drainage and land grading and get a plumbing leak test and that foundation would not benefit from any type of foundation repair and is not in distress and is structurally fine. 

Also depends how plumbing is routed.

There are a few items missing (plumbing, etc) but it's all copper.
