Don’t buy a house at the bottom of a hill. The neighbors watering, and any possible plumbing issues, will go down the street and pool at the lowest house on the hill. The water will pool in the water meter, and gravitate to incoming water lines, and dump off in the house foundation. The City will claim it is not their problem, the Insurance company will deny the claim, and the neighbors will tell you that you have a plumbing problem.

Purely business, why rent to pet owners? Is it that difficult to find decent tenants? [/quote]

I rent to pet owners because I am a pet owner myself, and I live in a rental. (yes, it is not logical, but I live in rental and own a rental…) I have owned the house since 2001, and have had a variety of tenants, some with dogs, and some without. The worst tenants had no dogs. On the lease, it was only 2 adults and a baby moving in, but as it turned out, they moved family members in, had domestic violence, paid the rent late, and were very damaging to the house.

If you don’t have a lot of money, and have a dog, your choices are to live in a nice small condo/apartment in a desireable area, walk your dog every day, deal with neighbors and adjoining walls, OR live in a less desireable neighborhood which gives you more space, washer/dryer, yard, etc.

In this particular case, the tenant is fantastic. She keeps clean, keeps up the property, does not have chaos by moving in other family members, etc. and pays the rent on time. And, I like her.

For example, when I leave my hotel room, I turn off all the lights and the A/C. I don’t believe in being destructive and causing other people to lose money when there’s no benefit to anyone.

[/quote]

Wow, why trash the kitchen? That is overkill and once again demonstrating that nothing is of value. Why break something just because it is not yours?

I too leave hotel rooms with lights and AC turned off. Perhaps, Brian, you and I grew up in homes that valued conservation.

What a wasteful attitude. Disgusting. (Although, I don’t believe a financial planner actually recommended this…)
