I found a condo in a B+ area that has reasonable HOA fees and rules (they allow tenants/renting and pets) and the numbers work.I would like to hear from others who have invested in condos for buy and hold, and how that has worked out for you, bad or good.Thank you.Shoshana Shulman

In a SFH, we most likely would have gone months before finding out about the unauthorized pet -- or would have hesitated in issuing the cure or quit due the possibility of a turnover/vacancy in December. 

I'd also consider the additional income you can get from potential pet rent.

@Salomon W.I do and recommend a very thorough screening including an application, credit check, criminal check and eviction check on everybody that will be living in the house and all persons, even the pet is named in my state compliant lease.

I could not find anything conclusive about the law for a pet deposit or monthly fee.

No pets(service animals welcomed with certificates).

We introduced additional streams of income by renting washers and dryers and charging pet fees.

Emotion support dogs do not count with discrimination laws. you are not required to accept the pet.

6.We don’t allow pets, do you have any?

After I went to inspect I realized it was damage caused by the tenants unauthorized pet.
