And stress that chewed into our mental, emotional, and financial health.Five months passed.

What are the laws around Emotional Support Animals?

I am sure he had good reasons to be emotional. 

Even though you are presumably taking action based on your financial needs, it helps to recognize that tenants sometimes view changes (or even potential changes) that impact their living situation as more personal or emotional decisions.

By your late 40s you have built emotional intelligence, your income is ideally higher, and been through some difficult times.

Quote from @Arman Ahmed @Nicole  You’re spot on with most of what you shared — under the Fair Housing Act, you generally cannotcharge fees or pet rent for service or emotional support animals, and you’re limited in what you can ask.

.: Hello, from what I've read online and confirmed by an attorney regarding emotional support animals - a legitimate ESA letter from a licensed mental health professional to receive housing protections under the Fair Housing Act is valid.My tenants provided a registration certificate from usserviceanimals - I do not see a signature other than the chairman of this website.

Buyers aren’t walking in emotionally like a family buying a house, they’re looking for an exact fit. 

There are definite pros and cons to OOS, but you have to get laser focused on your goal and your resources to ensure you are investing for the right reasons in the right places.Pros: - more options to invest as you aren't as market limited- forces you to build a business and have teams in place to handle the day to day ops- can keep you emotionally less invested and hopefully help make smarter decisionsCons:- harder to manage because you are going to be managing property managers, contractors, realtors, etc but doing it from a distance.- harder to get things done at weird hours for emergency repairs or issues that come up- easier to get taken advantage ofAlways start with the goal first and make sure the types of properties, the market, the tenant/landlord laws, the business environment etc. of where you invest are actually aligned with your goal.

Yes-with the right setup.You don’t need to live near your rental to succeed, especially if you:Buy in a landlord-friendly marketWork with a strong property management teamStick to simple, low-maintenance properties (like turnkey rentals)Pros of Long-Distance Investing:Access to better cash flowLower entry prices = faster scalingMore landlord-friendly laws (compared to NJ/NY)Less emotional attachment-you treat it like a businessCons to Watch For:Harder to self-manage if things go sidewaysYou must trust your team (PM, agent, inspector)Tempting to overanalyze because you're not localDo you need to visit in person?
