(I would only add that in my neck of the woods, NJ, we can charge a non-refundable pet deposit... and I didn't get my juris doctorate from google ;))

@Ralph R. thanks for the feedback and I can tell you are passionate about it, your portfolio is impressive and I have not doubt that you are a kick a$& investor... but if you are hiring PM companies to manage your properties and you are 3000 mi. away you need to understand that what you have is not property management experience at all - I understand that as investors we all like to play doctor or lawyer from time to time but when it comes time to do things right, theories and hearsay go right out the window. 

There is benefit to lying in every profession and liars in every profession, including police, doctors, teachers, you name it. 

Hi Gabe,Unless you want to work for a big corp (indoors) as a W2 wage slave, or become a broker, lawyer, CPA or doctor, the whole thing is Swindle designed to take your money and teach you nothing of use in the real world.If you want to go into business for yourself, have some cash and buy an ongoing business (it's less risk of failure than starting your own).

Happe received his Juris Doctorate, with distinction, from the University of Pacific’s McGeorge School of Law.

Someone could make 10 dollars an hour and get  a mortgage but the hours get cut next week to 30 and next month they can't pay their bills.Meanwhile the self-employed person has reserves over what the house costs to buy and they have to write dozens of explanation letters and go with a non-conventional lender still at great rates but a lot of junk to deal with.I have a chiropractic doctor friend that makes tons of money but writes stuff down to lower taxes.

I love it when they say they are a nurse and I say "I watch a lot of New York ER I would be a great Doctor"  Funny how they never get the joke.This type of show is a slap in the face to all of us that operate with integrity and are kind to others.  

Ask for a doctor note?

A doctor will get taxed the same on his flips as a realtor would.I'm not sure what you mean by a 4% investor tax.

I'm 29 years old, graduated from UW-Madison's School of Pharmacy in 2013 to attain my Doctor of Pharmacy degree, and currently live downtown Milwaukee.
