Being forced to take people with horrible credit or who own certain dog breeds that I don't want is a big turn off for me.

Just add the use of options to your game.I've been investing for 55 years and in the states where the activity was illegal I just added the bird dogger to the deal where I had the right to buy them out at anytime for whatever amount, thus making them a principle, and giving them some level of protection.And J what is a new breed investor, in 55 years there isn't a single thing new, only the form of an activity has changed slightly over time.

It was a great ride, nothing like todays investment world, we were a rare breed then.Over the first 10 years we build a group of real estate friends that became a circle of lifetime friends.

I just advertise my rentals with "no dangerous dog breeds".

The deal is either there, or it's not, and $25,000 on a million dollar deal can in fact break it...

Again, I alluded to this before: they can always say ‘no’ to your loan... but that fact shouldn’t stop you from doing the best you can in those docs.

I can in no way match the returns I am getting with HML inside of my retirement plan, and I am not giving up or deferring any tax benefits.

Not to say you can in your area.  

I would require this regardless of breed. 

Pets, usually aggressive breeds, will also come and go.
