I like that you highlight that it is a “single story home”. Some people don’t like stairs or can’t navigate them well. It’s an important detail to point out.

@Shayler and Dominique McCarthy great thank you for the insight

@Frances Davenport that’s the info I am looking for. The insurance MTR bookings and how to break into that area. Thanks!!

@Luis Font thanks Luis. I know what I can ask for with a MTR for this particular property but more specifically my question should have been - can I ask more for iMTRs? Is there a higher rate with insurance rentals?

@Luis Font thanks Luis! I’m inspired to learn more too

I do have a few thoughts on this from my experience and my some are my opinions. 1) I stopped renting to anyone with a cat. Even one cat. I now have my listings only allowing dogs. Had one apartment’s hardwood floors damaged by cat pee. ( it stains hardwood floors black ) Had to get the floors resanded and refinished. In some spots the black stains do not come up on hardwood pine floors. There was also scratch damage to the lower kitchen cabinets. Kept the $2000 of the security deposit and the tenants never flinched about not getting their security back. 2) Dogs in a pack ( ie more than one) behave differently than dogs by themselves. The tenants seem to have experience with large dogs. I would talk to them further to understand their daily animal care routine. For instance, does someone work from home? How long would the dogs be left alone easily ? Is there a Dog Sitter that they use or a dog walker when they are not around. Nurses sometimes work only three days a week for 12 hours and she would be home the other four days so that’s something to ask. You could even start the conversation casually by asking which of the dogs did they have first and how did they get them? That way is a non-threatening way open up the conversation to allow them to tell you more about their dogs and hopefully more specifics about how they care for them. 3) I always ask the ages of the dogs. why? Puppies will pee all over the place unless they are properly trained and older dogs get incontinent. Also Great Danes don’t live very long …on average about 8-9 years. 4) I would always meet the tenant with the dog to see their temperament. In this case, it might not be possible since they are coming from out of state. My concern is with three dogs would be the amount of barking. Something to consider would neighbors be disturbed? But if it is a home by itself that would not be an issue. 5) Dogs shed. I would build into your price to plan for a deep cleaning of the home after they leave. Totally doable. Also plan if they poop in the yard and the tenants don’t pick it up you’ll have to hire a company to do that to get it cleaned up. That’s if they don’t walk the dogs but rather leave them go out to run around in yard and do their business. Also lawn damage if the only time they go out is to the backyard or if they don’t go in one spot.

Your homes are beautiful Luis!
