Yeah, I would if they put down more money to alleviate the risk.

You CANNOT ask any other details from the provider, other than what the letter should include...confirming the fact the person does have a qualifying disability per HUD, and the specific animal they are requesting accommodation for performs a service or task, or alleviates a symptom of the disability for the person.Keep in mind also, the person providing this info can be a medical professional OR a social worker, so not necessarily licensed.I also provide an Assistance Animal Policy that applies to all Non-Pets.

Aside from paying to have the entire house re-wired, I dont see how to alleviate the issue.Does anyone have any leads on a reputable insurance company who insures houses with knob and tube electrical systems?

Commissions and closing costs are obvious, but items like getting property ready to sell to get top dollar also has a cost.It is not real clear to me how long you lived in the property, but if you were to sell you may want to look into whether you could meet the 2 of 5 year occupancy requirement to alleviate the taxes from the gain.Los Angeles is historically one of the higher appreciation markets. 

That would alleviate me from paying to service them. 

To alleviate all of the issues everyone is bringing up, I started an LLC from the beginning and am under contract to acquire my first property under it.

@Allen MoyeMaybe going with section 8 can help alleviate your problem finding applicants that meet the 3x rule.

You are currently alleviating living expense (at least for your brother) that he'd otherwise be paying.

I would even go as far as to talk with the city to see if they have a grant available for affordable housing that may alleviate the land cost for them.

Or if we sell now and pay off our mortgage and debt, we could alleviate some stress with extra cash to reinvest, and and look to take out equity out of our single family when the time comes to invest in the next asset, perhaps when rates are better than they currently are.
