Things can and will go bad, but once there is enough monthly cash flow generated it will be extremely difficult for that one big issue to put us away or even 2-3 big issues all at once. 

Usually b/c if the deal is so amazing, the money is rarely the issue, and b/c those people that do have the money thus get to cherry pick for the 1 in 10 or 1 in 15 that is the MOST amazing of "amazing deals." 

Have a clause in your lease that landlord is NOT responsible for battery issues - tenant is.

I read this as someone using a short-term lens to focus on a long-term issue. 

So now I have a whole different issue to deal with.

I tend to agree and don't think it will be an issue.

People who have service dogs (or horses, as these are the only 2 service animals) that are genuine have no issue disclosing that on the front end and can answer the 2 questions easily - is the animal necessary for a disability, and what specific tasks has the dog (or horse, if you're getting one of those) been trained to perform? 

The main issue is your exit is capped so if your costs go up, your profit goes down.

of course the sale of hurricane damaged houses also confuses the issue (my house had no such damage but is only about 4 blocks from houses that did).

The inspection showed more issues than we expected but the seller wasn't willing to negotiate so we cancelled in the due diligence period.
