Since it is technically not a service animal yet can I charge pet rent for any potential damages that might occur while it's still being puppy trained?

If you can ever do background checks and credit checks on them - it helps a lot.

I have a background in sales and also have a pretty solid grasp on online marketing so I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to reselling (hopefully) But in the meantime I'm getting ready to learn by doing.

Heck if you like the financial stuff because of your background and apptitude for it, you may like writing Notes, not want the liability/burden of the actual home-ownership, and not need the MLS ever again...focus on learning in real-life first building relationships, then commit to a strategy/plan...Hope that helps :) 

You should have your own criteria, run background checks (always, but especially when putting two strangers under the same roof.  

Still looking for my first deal as I learn the ropes, but have a question.First a little background - I'm in the Baltimore market looking at 80 year old, 1300 sq/ft, 3/2/1 brick townhouses in an area where ARVs range from $150k - $200k.

Lots of good info to be had there ....but like many classes across all industries there's a fair amount of technical stuff that you may never use again either.  

You can definitely get actual cash back to you from a refinance but you are limited as to what percentage of the value you are allowed to take the loan out for (called loan to value or LTV).If this is a primary residence for you, you can technically go up to 85% on a cash out refinance.

Good morning,I'm a new property investor in PG Country Maryland looking for a good real estate with a background in foreclosures and investment properties.

@Dan Vleck in my experience, the people who think they know everything are the ones leaving the most on the table.The books out there, even the technical ones, are too broad in nature to allow you to develop a real tax strategy.
