So I did my research, and the scam was immediately evident.

With all the speculation on where we are currently in the real estate cycle and some more or less anecdotal evidence supporting a market crash or still more golden years to come I wanted to know the numbers and facts and recently pulled some data out of our local MLS to get the facts and data. 

If it is evident that the service animal is causing additional wear or damage then you could take photos and request an additional deposit.

Do you see any evidence of construction? 

We had just informed you that we need evidence as to why you felt these comps were inappropriate, which was never provided. 

If the OP had solid evidence that unauthorized people have moved in and asked for our thoughts on what to do at that juncture, our responses would have been different.

I just reformed the way I log everything and am more disciplined with saving supporting evidence like screenshots of texts, emails, call logs, pictures, etc. so the main argument for shooting for the real estate professional status is that it helps you to stay focused and continually improve your methods.I will have to find a good CPA to help me navigate all of this, have you guys got any recommendations for real estate focused CPA's that work across state borders including PA?

I only see empirical evidence presented, which, unfortunately, is a fallacy of anecdotal evidence. 

Is there any evidence that one is better than the other to make the phone ring?

Most wholesalers don't like to show supporting evidence as to how they arrived at their offer and there is a good reason they are trying to squeeze every penny out of the seller.Joe Gore
