@Greg DickersonThanks. 30%. sounds like a very safe margin.I've heard the term soft costs used by residential developers when separating costs of land, debt service and the hard costs of construction.

Done, no emotion in the property, maybe one counter offer and were done.  

Yea so it's an emotional service animal technically.

I would check with your HSA Provider and see if you can do a rollover from a TSP to your HSA...They would be the ones who would know.If you can't roll it in directly you could probably roll $10,000 from the TSP (assuming you've separated from service) to an IRA and then roll it into a HSA.

I found this article that links to the new HUD guidelines on Reasonable Accommodations For Assistance Animals, including Service animals, and emotional support animals. the actual guidance does not change any current laws, but it does help to clarify and provide some best practices for us as landlords and tenants seeking to request  reasonable accommodations. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brendarichardson/2020/01/28/hud-issues-new-guidance-on-reasonable-accommodations-for-assistance-animals/#3a4bf8c26531And the actual guidance is below https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PA/documents/HUDAsstAnimalNC1-28-2020.pdf

And I would ask her if she was married, separated, etc. 

I know I can make it work and I'm good with numbers and not letting emotions get me when looking at a place (though a good historic house does tug my heartstrings), but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I'm nervous about still making a big mistake on my first house and all the "unknowns" of real estate that are only gained with experience.

Take your time and never let your emotions get the best of you by remebering that sometimes the best deals are the ones you didn't get.

As for everything else I would do one of two things: either split them out into separate topics and discussions or look them up via the search bar.

Do you have an LLC/S Corp for your real estate business and a separate LLC for buy and holds etc?
