Retirement is years down the road, but I want to develop a plan of attack well before then.

No one attacked you -- they are taking the time to try and help you out.I only wish BiggerPockets had such a strong community when I started making my mistakes as a landlord.

A very liquid cash investor is going to have a different mode of attack vs. a financed investor from day#1.

I'm 22 years old, thirsty for knowledge, and eager to attack and conquer the RE world! 

There were also times where the noise next door would be really loud, and in my mind I’d approach the tenant as a neighbor simply asking if they could keep it down but since she knows I’m the owner it would turn into this big thing and she would feel as if she was under attack. .

. ;-) Just follow the money . . .Classic straw man argument, misrepresent what I said and then attack the misrepresentation (I get it, its easier).

Everyone feels personally attacked the moment I show data disproving what they are saying.Where did I even mention SEO?

In one case a landlord scared the beejeebees out of the provider by including the statement that if the ESA proved to be so aggressive as to attack others the provider might be held accountable for their part in approving this animal.It is also important to understand that while an ESA is not considered a pet the tenant may still be help financially responsible if the ESA causes damage to the rental unit during the occupancy period.

Attorneys can attack your distributions along with the asset.  

@Todd Dexheimer I was out of line and I apologize...I should not have attacked the post...this is supposed to be a positive environment.
