When I informed her that there would be strict guidelines for any chickens if allowed, and that there would be a deposit (Refundable), she informed me it was illegal for me to charge her a deposit because the chickens are her “lettered” emotional support chickens.

No, we have a pretty strict no pet policy.

But in the federal court system, it takes very little to establish jurisdiction over an out of state defendant.I suppose for some "good" news --- most competent lawyers I worked with won't take a routine litigation case without the client providing a retainer.

I was thinking of using it strictly for cash payments.

Rent is do on the first and strictly enforced per the lease (in PA they can waive the grace period).

let’s say I have $100,000 cash strictly for investing in real estate. 

This strategy is strictly for land, because people do not have emotional attachments too it (another reason why you can buy a piece of land using this strategy for 500-1k dollars).

I do not know how strictly enforced it is, but a simple google search of Airbnb multiple accounts will result in 1000s of examples.Not worth it in my opinion.

I am not strictly looking for a HELOC, but I would prefer it.  

I think based off of my knowledge that as long as we’re not facilitating deals as realtors and stick to strictly wholesaling (even though I’m in the process of attaining my real estate license now) that we should be fine with a basic LLC and business license.
