A landlord will say whatever the hell they need to, to get a bad tenant out of their hair.

After having a hair dresser live there for a year, it clogged and burned up the mother board and motor.

I do believe it will be a good comp because it is the same exact neighborhood (like there is only 2 entrances to our neighborhood and they are 1/4 mile apart).I'm tempted to split hairs and try to get a new appraiser altogether, but it's unlikely that our house will appraise for high enough that we will be able to avoid the PMI (our real goal in this whole thing).

I have a house cleaner and a hair dresser as renters.   

I thought the exception would still allow for a pet deposit.If it's a service animal - is it still ok to deduct for shampooing/cleaning the carpets for dog hair due to allergies? 

Now if I was 35 starting out rather than 50 when I started I might be more aggressive but as a grey hair I will tell you real estate will get you wealthy over time but chasing the get rich quick usually results in a crash and burn.

@Keanalyn WolfordI agree with @Joseph FirminMost forms of real estate: find the deal, get it under contract, develop the team, hire contractors, manage the property manager until you decide to sell, pray to God the appraiser is in a good mood to value the building correctly, and after a few more grey hairs - finally sell the building.Apartment Investing as a limited partner/passive investor can come with all of the benefits of owning real estate (cash flow, forced appreciation, and a tax sheltering asset) without the hassle of doing everything.

Not to split hairs, but PMI is private mortgage insurance & is associated with conventional loans.
