Best of luck to you as you seem to be on the right track!

Some cities keep track.

Track the income and expenses of everything you do in some sort of report and review it regularly with others you trust to possibly reduce expenses and increase your income and helps your company grow.  

Until i can start looking into possibly multi-family homes or build a good track record with a bank.

For instance, we use Google Sheets for tracking our assets, investor capital and event for a tape analysis, and those are available on any device that I have my Google account set up. 

But you're on the right track by not trusting their pricing as often people have their homes overpriced and don't get very many bookings because of it.

I just wanted to throw out a what if questions to see if I'm on the right track. 

Many jurisdictions allow contiguous property owners to file a protest petition and stop you dead in your tracks unless you negotiate a deal.

Track all of your income and expenses on all projects that you are responsible for in a report for that you can review regularly with some people you trust and know and understand your goals.  

This is because the people who are financially responsible, have a good track record of taking care of housing, and have positive references, typically can be trusted to take good care of pets and your property.I always allow pets and have never had a problem at all.I wish you the best.Personally, I wouldn't allow "fluffy".
