I just didn't know where to put the service dog on the lease. 

Where?

If you are able to buy a house where you are and have your friends as roommates I’m thinking you will be more likely to be able to collect rent.

A great way to get started if you currently have a W2 job is to buy a house hack like a duplex or a fourplex where you can move into one of the units and continue to rent/manage the other units.

Since you are doing new construction I would suggest making them private enough where guest have minimal interaction with each other.

You may find this a viable option with rates where they are, especially if your rental income continues to cover the mortgage.Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): If your property qualifies, you could use a HELOC to access the equity without disturbing the current mortgage.

You don't want to run into an issue where she could be potentially disrupting other tenants or potentially causing significant damage to your property. 

@Steve Babiak, unless he registered with Pennsylvania as a contractor, he would not show up on there, the company as the OP stated is from NJ where he would be registered. he should be registered in PA if he is doing work there, so i agree, he should have shown up on those sites, i am a contractor in NJ but do not do work in PA, not even my own properties, so i do not show up on those sites.

Where are you looking to invest? 

I would love to invest somewhere in the vicintiy of where i live, not possible with the market. thanks!
