I’m graduating next year and want to buy my first rental property within the next 3–5 years(maybe less but that is doubtful).

No doubt just so they can charge more for various "options".

I do think you would benefit from the exercise but doubt you will do it.good luck

However, the animals must each serve a disability-related need and the request must be reasonable.What you can do:Request proper documentation from a licensed healthcare provider (not just an online certificate mill).Verify that each animal is part of the accommodation — not just “they’re all emotional support.”Evaluate whether three animals would create an undue burden (size of unit, property type, damage risk, insurance restrictions, etc.).What you cannot do:Charge pet fees or pet rent for legitimate ESAs.Apply breed restrictions (unless insurance truly prohibits).It’s not strange legally, but three animals in one unit increases wear and risk — so you want to be sure the documentation is solid and that the request is reasonable for the property.When in doubt, many landlords use an ESA verification service or consult a housing attorney to avoid missteps.

San Diego RE is about value adds, leverage, appreciation, and rent growth (many of my tenants got rent increases of at least $100/month, and some over $200/month on this flattish rent growth year).I have zero doubt over the long term your property will appreciate far more than $1k/month (in fact I have little doubt it will exceed the $1600/month of my RE with the lowest monthly appreciation).  

And it's been one additional year so the volume has been turned up, no doubt... ps I put in a YouTube link and it's not showing up.

I’m the Kentucky guy on BP and lived in Lexington for almost a decade.You’ve got what it takes to make this happen, so stop doubting yourself so much.

I wasn’t the “victim”, so when I went to get the police report I was told I had to submit a FOIA.When I do get them, I doubt it will say much.

But after several days of silence- I texted the tenant 2 days ago (about whether he received the email from the insurance person to sign) and never heard back, and after following up again on Friday- and it's Sunday and they haven't followed through- I am more doubtful about them.

I am doubtful that anyone can get conventional financing based on NOI and Cap Rate.so the question is what do the comps indicate a 4 br, 3 Ba is worth?
