The Pre-Qual is done by any RE agent/broker and thus has no weight with experienced sellers - - as I said, the loan application can still fail.

Assistance animals, including service animals and companion animals, are NOT pets.Because assistance animals may be any breed, size, or weight, housing providers should reasonably accommodate a tenant with a disability-related need for an assistance animal by waiving any size or weight limitations that might otherwise apply to pets.When can a housing provider deny an assistance animal?

I'd say it's a mid-weight in it's class based on the functionality and depth of features. 

We don't charge an additional deposit or pet rent for small caged animals, we never allow ferrets and we have a breed restriction list and weight limit on dogs.

I suppose it's possible to be sued for more, but I can't possibly think of too many things involved with my rentals that could make me personally liable for such an amount, especially with the weight of the insurance company's law firm fighting on my behalf.

Personally, I'm curious whether you have a property lined up for this and any details on the financing... are you expecting the 'students' to participate in the financial weight and benefit or just looking for hands-on flippers to mentor?

I'll tell you right now that some managers charge fees without producing results and others are worth their weight in gold.

I know most HML's are pretty strict with there lending policies though (Usually 65-70% of ARV max) Being an agent, you have a little extra weight in that you should be well versed on all aspects of determining values, which also helps. 

If the gridwork can handle the weight, substitute traditional tiles with painted drywall ones for less attention.

Does it concerns you that a $1,000 repair cost in a 50K property has a heavier weight on the numbers with almost none return?
