The deviousness and ingenuity of employee/thieves is an incredible thing to witness. 

I have personally witnessed an engineer and teacher spouse try to claim real estate professional status and fail even though they had significant time... major stumbling block is 1 hour more than 50% of W2 or 1099 hours.

However, what I’ve witnessed across the board regarding investing in the Philippines is this; a Filipino can be very successful and a foreigner can be left standing on the corner. 

It is overwhelming for someone who doesn't live here but it can be done and I have witnessed many success stories.

Humor in wit and brevity combined. 

To add, I have been witnessing prices turn a bit.

From what I've been privileged to witness and be a part of on this platform thus far I'm seeing a lot of you folks doing just that.

I have to apologize in advance because this type of post seems awkward, out of place, and borderline inappropriate but I’m at my wits end here and desperately need advice from some pros.

@William Clark  first off the FHA and FHAA are different things, I am referring to ADA and FHAA rules FHA= Federal Housing Administration ADA= Americans wit Disabilities Act, FHAA= Fair Housing Amendments ActSecond The FHAA clearly allows for proof of need for the service animal for long term tenancy purpose, it also clearly states a landlord may not ask about the disability, so a disabled person does not need to disclose what the disability is, but may require proof of need by an appropriate licensed person.
