I've found the mantra of "there are no bad dogs, there are just bad dog owners" to be very true in every case.I've discovered that it's hard to find residences that will rent out to many of these breeds, as seen here, so it can actually be a lucrative offering to charge more since you are one of few that will allow it.I plan to charge an up-front fee of $350 and then $100/month increase in rent if total pets are larger than 50lbs.I will only do breed restrictions if my insurance requires it.For those of you that do pet limits, what does it apply to?

If you are looking to fund your first deal often times there are other alternative ways to find funding for your first deal as the majority of your first year payments on a whole life insurance policy goes towards the cost of insurance rather than the actual build up of cash value.Not true.

I know that the seller's agent is requiring a true construction loan to purchase the property.

I want to get my Real Estate License, but also have a passion for investing in real estate.

It seems too good to be true.

Now I understand why the borrowers like this but it did lead to many not having enough TRUE equity and DSCR to withstand a down turn so there is that .

My question to the group holds true irrelevant of the location. 2.

Simple answer is that you write a letter of explanation that is true and reasonable.

But as talking to contractors and engineers I believe this route is to big of a fish for me to get my feet wet for this being my first ever true real estate investment.
