According to HUD, a physician, psychiatrist, social worker, or other mental health professional can provide documentation that the animal provides emotional support that alleviates one or more of the identified symptoms or effects of an existing disability.The notice can come from non US Heath care providers, even online providers.

Originally I am coming from Israel, but I have relocated to Germany a year ago.I am a physician by trade and I will be working full time with the purpose to complete my residency.

Now granted, I'm sure my situation and my properties are significantly different from yours, but the same maintenance principle that holds up in medicine holds up in landlording, just like you, your house needs a poorly paid primary care physician first to direct the flow of expensive specialists afterwards, and the better the primary care physician the more money you'll save in care costs.I apologize for the rambling but I'm in a hurry.

As a recent medical school grad about to start as a resident physician in July, really interested to hear if anyone else got started in real estate investing as a physician or healthcare professional.

In fact, as a physician, I feel that mental illness is considered a "second class citizen" when it comes to medical care.What I don't like is the forcing of the Landlord to do what you want, despite the fact that you have a contract.

I would hope that no decent physician would provide such documentation.

You CAN (and should) get an additional deposit.You are allowed to request proof of prescription - a valid Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is prescribed by a physician.

How close is the proposed purchase from the hospital, physician and dentist offices, emergency medical services, etc.?
