@Moustafa Said Welcome to bigger pockets and congratulations to you and your new Bride! 

I sold my precious business for 1.5M seller carry.

It's an asset that will continue to grow as more and more people and institutions begin to adopt it as a safer hedge against inflation than precious metals. 

Time is way too precious to waste on being unhappy because you want more

Nobody watches your money like you do, you'll learn how to manage, so you can manage a manager later and you'll save precious early-years cash flow, which allows you to scale faster, especially in the first 5 years.

This will get you the name on the dog on record designating that specific animal as their ESA.Good idea -- AND ask for additional rent/deposit, unless there is some legislation forbidding it for a properly registered service animal.My humble opinion, all this "emotional support" stuff is simply BS so they can take their precious animals everywhere they go and not have pay extra.

Other ways of using SDIRAs could be to invest in syndications, performing  or non-performing debt, precious metals, raw land, precious metals, mobile home parks, self-storage facilities and more. 

I was able to get 13,000 of them to opt in to receiving a monthly newsletter we issue, and as preciously stated results are 100s of deals or loan requests per year.  

A good name is the most precious asset in business—one that cannot be bought or replaced once lost.

You're essentially doing the same type of strategy except you're not putting your precious primary home at risk.
