I have an applicant that wants to bring 4 pets to to my 1000 sq ft house.  1 medium, 1 small dogs and 2 cats.

@Jorge Roman I have a written paper that describes and defines routine maintenance, urgent maintenance, and emergency maintenance that I give each tenant on move in day.

I'm familiar enough to say I wouldn't mind walking my dog at night in either city. 

I'm thinking a fence because I saw two of the neighbors dogs playing in the back yard.

I got licensed after moving across the country and had zero, zip, zilch for a sphere, and held open houses both days of the weekend and sometimes even weekdays, spoke with people while walking my dog, attended investor meetings, and was a top producer in my Brokerage after 1 year.It’s truly all in the follow up and was getting referrals by my 2nd year as well.Just keep building relationships and talking to people!  

Gordon in Augusta, GA.  2 adults, a toddler and a 65 lb dog. 

We have a 3yo and a 65lb dog so house hacking isn't in the cards for us.Unlike most military families, we will need to live in our first property for ONLY about a year before we convert it to a rental.

Dog tenants = Barking and dog waste (plus the possibility of Cujo eating a neighbor child exposing YOU to a lawsuit).

STRs can be great but also can be dogs if not done properly.

This is not said to brag.This is said to explain our strategy.When you are the local top dog, everyone will flock to you, both motivated sellers and buyers.
