Quote from @Connor Sheeks: Hey Miles,I am currently in graduate school in MEM for physical therapy, and over the last year or so I've been diving into the real estate world by reading books, researching online, etc.

It is fairly common for an existing tenant to bring in a service (ES or Therapy) animal during their tenancy.

Bad debt are items that typically depreciate heavily in actual value you could later resale for but sometimes it doesn't matter.I have a massage chair that cost as much as a car.

I'm a single woman Who at 59 wants to finally quit breaking my Back as a Massage Therapist , Cleaning Houses , Doing Floral Design (altho very fun) pay at 12.00 an hour here in Austin.Just moved here from Melbourne Florida My daughter is renting my home (starting too) at mortgage payment lol (family) And I'm looking to get a condo or small house outside or around Austin for my son also as an investment .Thinking of using equity on my home in Fl.

Offer money, to drive for dollars and look for deals, make phone calls, pour concrete, massages....something in exchange for being mentored 

As a last resort, I've even had someone tell me the dog is a support/therapy animal and I would have to accept it.
