Tenant of 2 years was discovered to have a dog in a no-pets rental. 

I once had someone move in to a no-pet rental.

When someone messages on Facebook, I send a copy/paste of the same response to everyone that the house is still available and if they are interested in viewing the home to complete the pre-screening application (with the link attached)Another think this does for me is I am able to match up the Facebook profiles with the applications received and yes of course I look at what they post and what there photos show as the kind of person they are, if they have pets they didn't mention, are always drinking in photos or drug use, etc I did a quick search and found the original thread and have attached it to this response, I certainly can't take credit for this awesome idea.  

To get 80% of local price fluctuation you have to add at least next quantitative variables:- real estate taxes appreciation rate,- purchasing power (money left after immediate needs - taxes, insurances, food etc)- net/reverse migratory stream,- CPI,- construction of new homesNot to mention subjective variables:- confidence (will i have enough money to pay the mortgage tomorrow?)

We did not make any provisions for him to earn income during the flip, so he had to work a few other jobs to keep food on his table, so the project took FAR longer than it should have.

I was recently at a food court eating my lunch and a teenager walked up, grabbed my drink and started to drink it!

When I closed on the property I had the tenants fill out a rental application stating the number of occupants, their names, pets, etc.

Especially because she has pets.

Hope it gives you some food for thought!
