In general there are many legitimate ways do deduct travel.  

a specific quote from the actual HUD guidance,"HUD is providing this guidance to help housing providers distinguish between a person with a nonobvious disability who has a legitimate need for an assistance animal and a person without adisability who simply wants to have a pet or avoid the costs and limitations imposed by housingproviders’ pet policies, such as pet fees or deposits."  

your partner should be only passive as a "limited partner" and does not have any say.. to avoid stalemate on these ticky tack decisions you should have a minimum of say $5k where your partner will play a role on the decision.. and perhaps choose a mediator "a seasoned investor" who both of you agree to that can decide an outcome..

The All I'm showing is how the power of leverage plays out over time.You could just as easily start with one $500k property with the DP at $100k. 

Played a little hockey while I was around there as well.

You need to do your numbers on this one and see how it plays out across your various scenarios.
