I’d love to connect and see how we could collaborate or share knowledge further.Would you be open to discussing how we might work together or how we can support each other in the private lending space?

.: In a prior post from about 2 months ago, Kerry Malarkey and Nathan Gesner mentioned a small landlord is exempt from FHA requirements requiring the acceptance of emotional support & assistance animals if one of the following is true:"Owner-occupied buildings Properties with four units or fewer that are owned and lived in by the ownerSingle-family homes Homes that are sold or rented without a broker by the owner, as long as the owner doesn't own more than three at once" (Quote from Nathan's reply))https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1219359-pitbu...Given this, if a landlord does qualify for the exemption, what exactly does this mean? 

A lender is the middle man who will sell your loan to the big banks and in most cases charge you points and higher fee's to support the branch and loan officers commissions.

So please believe me when I say I LOOKED for anything I could to help support his claims.  

Are there other, more cost-effective alternatives to gain similar support and knowledge?

I kind of traded my 20s for the freedom of not working that started at 41.
