I recently purchased an apartment for $230,000, which came with a tenant paying $2,250/mo rent.

You will pay them and everything will then fall apart.

I let them know what I can make happen so they have a better time.That way you get a feel for how the service animal will affect your place without being offensive.

They paid their portion of the rent.I have found a lot of investors bring their personal or political feelings into the investing conversation. 

I want to invest it wisely so that a part of it is used for my living expenses and the remainder invested in RE producing cash flow and appreciating over time.

I feel ya, but it's a normal and customary practice. 

If you want to know more about the management companies I tried feel free to DM me.

A good designer and architect are key for a successful project like this and keep in mind these aren't cheap.There's a lot more details to consider, feel free to DM me for more details.

Feel free to reach out and we can give you information on our experience.

And then again, maybe I’ll dive into both simultaneously since I feel very confident from experience now.Like @Michael Baum Baum said, guests from both platforms can be quality (I vet to ensure this).
