One, I made a profit; other one, I kinda even out. 

Do you get any volume discounts or better service due to the volume of your business from the current providers, that might be something to consider. not sure if that is even a thing for lawyers though.

I have one tenant who is a god send compared to most, he accomplishes nearly ever repair I need, even did an HVAC unit. 

Should it simply be one of two choices: deny application or accept application with ESA exemption even if the property qualifies for the FHA exemption?

@Tyler Lingle I found a couple prior to even posting this (CIREIA Club) but was curious about others before making a decision on which one(s) to focus my time. 

Even with the mortgage paid off, some of the $2000 in rent will go to maintenance, repairs and property taxes.

The airfare, though, is usually 100% deductible even if you mix business with some pleasure.

Yes, I am a property manager but even I use a 3rd party PM for my properties that are out of state.

Past few years there's been more expansion and development in the outer areas like Queen Creek, but those areas have appreciated even more than phoenix/scottsdale. 

Id be happy to break-even with the rental income if I get all of my invested capital back.
