Every park is a different animal.

However, I remember being a renter myself and having the hardest time finding a house that wouldn't smell like musk/smoke/cheap perfume/Clorox/animals/other renters/ etc.

I allow pets at my properties as I feel it offers me a competitive advantage in the area as there is a short supply of pet friendly rentals in my area, especially rentals with enclosed back yards as my properties have.I protect myself through a rent premium due to the competitive advantage discussed above, $300/animal pet deposit -or- $15/animal/month non refundable pet "rent", plus utilizing pet friendly flooring materials (laminate / tile).

That is a whole different animal from mortgage lending.

I love animals myself and would like to offer a place that accepts them, but if repairs get too pricey I'll reconsider.

-Books or guides on what the cost of a certain repair would take (countertops, flooring, siding, etc) and how do you estimate the years left when you see a house that either needs flipping or even just a coat of paint and new carpet.

@Jason Rosenbaum Commercial real estate can be a whole different animal, especially when you're talking mixed use, office, retail or industrial.

It's becoming apparent that RE is an entirely different animal in almost every way.

.,, that is an emotional support animal and therefore a “ member of the family”.Once they see that eviction notice with the court date they will realize it’s not worth them getting booted over $40.00.

But another, bigger reason is that humans are social animals.
