If you want proof, just look at the Slinkey, the Hoola-Hoop, and my favorite...the Pet Rock.

I did the monthly pet fee/rent.

If you're in your 20s and have not started collecting kids, pets, and commitments, work your a$$ off, delay gratification, and set yourself up for the future.

@Blake Valdez For me personally I like single-family homes for rentals as the rental pool is a bit larger and you can make more allowing pets which is another topic to debate if it's worth it.

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

We also have a "no pet" policy were a couple tenants brought in pets that caused issues. 

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

No children and 1 pet limit.I think i'll stick with this route.  

All the while remembering- there are no pit cats, only pet cats (and dogs using the backyard as a restroom is one of the reasons I think cats make better renters than dogs).

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
