Time and time again, these free ones becomes "we have too many users now and our server can't handle it so we are charging for these features that you used to use" example is Stessa.

I have a couple questions about how to handle this situation.Is it wise to rent to someone on disability seeing how it would probably be very difficult to evict and get your past rent if the tenant defaults.If I do not want pets in the home and the tenant has a service animal how do I handle that situation, or any animal for that matter service animal or not. 

We’re fine with them flushing toilet paper, of course, but tampons/shop wipes, etc. was not meant to be flushed and can damage our septic system according to the plumber.How would you handle this?

Pay attention to how your funds are handled and what protections, if any, are offered.

Best decide now whether you’re psychologically equipped to handle the risks of real estate investing

I was thinking $100k because I'm imagining all kinds of capex expenses coming up and want to ensure I have enough reserves to handle them. 

If you can handle the initial hurt of negative cash-flow, investing in A locations is a great route to go.

After the must-pay items are handled, then I will apply remaining funds towards rent, late fees, etc.

This isn't an uncommon fee if an appraisal management company is handling the appraisal, but it is typically $100-125 not 300 IME. 

I love it for the guaranteed rent, tenant stability, additional accountability with the housing authority and large demand for Section 8 housing without enough supply.With strong screening, I'm able to find great tenants and Im not owed any rent.Cons you will often hear is that the tenants are harder on your properties (doesnt have to be the case in my experience if you screen really well), the Housing Authority is a pain to deal with (this depends on a couple things - how well run your local PHA is and how good you are at handling process & details) and the extra inspections/red tape make the niche unprofitable (see what I said above about Housing Authorities).Done right, I believe Section 8 is one of the most stable & profitable.
