I would be looking to use the 200k ad a down payment for properties up to 800k, hoping for 10 units or more.

Calvin Ball intends to introduce a housing package which will include the following:Rent control at a 6% capExpanding a right to purchase of existing properties to nonprofitsExpanding a payment in lieu of taxes agreement for privately held propertiesRental security deposit and rental assistance for Howard Community College and school system studentsFunding improvements for units for ADA purposesAllocating $1.4M in grants from the Housing Trust Fund for nonprofits for rental assistance, weatherization and other unit improvements Clearly, rent control (item 1) and delaying private transactions (item 2) are incredibly problematic.

We are remodeling a couple of our ground level apartments to full ADA compliant handicapped accessible so please let me know what you find out and I will do the same.JohnCl

Are emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals considered service animals under the ADA?

And the 4th bedroom ending up for guests as we each have big families who sometime visit LA from east coast, etc.But this year we are behind on bills so we broadened to offering each/both room for single occupancy on the dreaded CL and other sites.I'm shocked that most of the callers we have gotten so far, rather than have questions about the rooms, are actually so far just ones that go straight into stating that they do not meet our listed description/requirements (ie, male owners looking male roommates) but 'here's why you cannot refuse considering us anyway.." followed by robotically reading some script/quote such as from the NHA, FHA or ADA. 

Am I correct in thinking that an "Emotional Support Animal" does not have the same ADA protection as a trained Service Animal?

I would like to refer others to a thread on this very topic (for those who have not already seen it) which goes into great detail what NOT to do ad a wholesaler, https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/583...Second, I would like to address the main question in this thread which in summary is this: Is it ok to circumvent a wholesaler.

Your most expensive areas will most likely be ADA/Handicap access, Fire safety/prevention, and electrical (is this aluminum wiring and are the panels Federal Pacific?).  

Then, with your next investment property, ad a new "Class" for that property.
