Raising equity, learning to become a property manager and fund manager simultaneously, and balancing the risk between asset allocation, core returns, and density of portfolio. 

The studies being released show how different industries appear to be increasing their profits with hidden or bogus fees that can harm consumers and companies that have honest business practices. 

Learning the theory or the real practical part of the business.

I'm not that professional but I think a whole house filter would filter particulates like dirt but not chlorine. for chlorine you might need a reverse osmosis system for a specific drinking water tap to eliminate the taste as it's not practical or efficient to put an RO on the whole house supply. if skin issues from bathing are a problem you might need a softener. sometimes when kids have eczema doctors actually prescribe "bleach baths" where a small amount of chlorine bleach is added to the bath water. also many of the water treatment systems can be rented so maybe just rent it while they are there. regardless, proceed with data. water test, pediatrician diagnosis (if it's legal to ask for, no clue), and a system that is right for the application. sounds like the tenant is willing to help out which is awesome.

To obtain practical experience, start small with a modest multi-family property or home hacking potential.

Practice your pitch!

You have a high maintenance tenant on your hands at this point that you should aim to be rid of as soon as practical, as the pregnancy and all the other ancillary BS has nothing to do with anything.5.

I know their charter / business practice is that they only do business in their local / region...I'll ask my lender in the meantime...Good luck.

Looking deeper..this will also have an impact on appraisals and lending practices as closed sales (similar to those with seller concessions) might not accurately reflect in a properties sales price. - Cash buyers could be big 'winner's' as generally there are fewer contingencies and theoretically could obtain a lower sales price and pay their representative directly. - First time home buyers (presumedly those that most intended to bring down 'affordability' could find less housing options)..why? 

Or do we get through that quick and into more advanced exercises for the majority of the course like practicing deal analysis, running numbers, finding/managing/contracting with contractors, corporate structure, etc?
