I wrestled with trying to turn that into a short term rental in my mind several times.

Here are a few things that come to mind. 

In the eyes of the law, it's no different than a cane or a wheelchair.Keep in mind, just because the ESA is not considered a pet doesn't mean it gets to run rampant, disturb the neighbors, crap all over the parking lot, or tear up the house.

If you go through brokers or even reaching out to sellers, it's a good idea to keep in mind how they will see you.

I certainly don't want to get into the business of being a "bottom feeder" that takes advantage of people, but if there is space in the industry for someone to help people in your situation while making a fair profit, I wouldn't mind learning more and getting involved.If interested, message me.

IF it is a real problem, then yes, fix it.I would build a fir-in wall out of 2x2s and insulate it heavily (Rockwool comes to mind https://www.rockwool.com/north-america/) There is also drywall that is made for this.

I wanted to expand my network of like minded people.  

Screening everyone over 18 helps reduce the risk of costly evictions and ensures you’re fully informed about who will be living in your property.Additionally, be mindful of the number of occupants and how it might impact your property.

Keep that in mind and just proceed with the utmost caution. 

Awesome to see a new investor-minded person here.. do you have a favorite real estate success story already?
