@Tony Gunter currently federal and state governments qualify depression as a disability you can collect government benefits because of depression

what does a dog get trained to do for a person who uses it to help to alleviate their depression

remember emotional and psychological illnesses are on equal par with physical disabilities

you guys are going to get challenged legally, really hard in court with this trying to get around the law

It seems that the law protects both human children and people‘s emotional support animals in the same way, but you never hear on this forum people seeking to circumvent charging people more for children. but you openly hear landlords trying to circumvent the rules about charging people more for animals. Circumventing the law is probably not something any of us should be seeking guidance on how to do. 


Do you return the “deposit” if the pet doesn’t cause any damage? If not then it’s just a money grab. You might want to spread your repair cost over all your clients.

I know I’m new to this and I might be speaking out of turn but it’s weird that landlords see it as a right that they have to charge people for pets. I see it as all pets as emotional support animals.

all animals are service animals why else would people have them

I understand that people with psychological problems have a special carveout, but be real, you should be building your apartments to withstand the fact that humans have pets.

You can also always charge a non refundable move-in fee / move out fee upfront for all of your tenants and if a dog / child / drunk uncle tears up the apartment use that to brace against the cost.

Full disclosure I have five dogs that I found in the streets. I’m a sucker!

before anybody starts saying how silly it is to own property in your self directed IRA please understand that any venture I enter into will purchase at fair market value the land out of the IRA. I have no intention of owning property for our venture in my personal IRA

Hello my name is Chad Ingram I grew up in Miami and I am relocating to Fort Pierce. I am newly separated and have decided to venture into real estate as my second act.

I think I started like everybody else, reading Rich dad poor dad, and buying tax liens in, Saint Lucie County, Broward County and Brevard County.

I only by liens on vacant land in my self-directed IRA and I'm looking for partners (contractors and finance) to help me develop Coliving houses, Blocks and Cottage Courts on the lots.

Most of my lots have impact fee credits and I’m looking to revive the “dog trot style” house in the City of Fort Pierce.
