Thank you all so much for your replies, its amazing how supportive the community is here at BP.

I wanted to thank the BP community for helping me realize my calling and all the support this community brings. 

A "companion" or "emotional support" dog is NOT covered under the ADA but I would still consult with a local attorney because state or local laws may cover such a pet.  

Chances are you won't have a lot of people in your corner supporting your idea so be strategic in who you ask for advice.So my "lifestyle design" in a nutshell- I started my own company that I work on whenever I want.

I'm hoping the support here will help me take that step.

I do not keep a vacancy fund because I have minimal leverage, again because I am putting income back in so I can afford that, though most people's investment model would not support this.

I'm also building my team to support this investing endeavor. 

my name is David and I'm 17 years old I'm currently attending high school I'm looking to become a real estate agent to support my real estate investing dreams!

We're all about having supportive community and helping each other.

It doesn't seem like my local area can support that strategy very well but things start looking up once you cross the border into Wisconsin.I'm also thinking about investing into vacation properties.Looking forward to be a part of this community and helping others in whatever way I can.Sebastian
