And sometimes I think it's our job to be someone's consequence.And revenge is sweet :-)Next time, make sure they have income you can garnish, and get your criteria in order and don't veer away from it.  

And she has a pretty sweet deal making $75 per month doing absolutely nothing.

In a nice, sweet but firm way.

The dog is an 18 mo old black lab, supposedly just past its puppy stage, but I know black labs are puppies for a few years. 

High depreciation (home build cost is 400k) is benefit that I may get all income tax free for life.By putting everything in excel, I see positive cash flow (except assuming 500k tax free gain investment return).Yes, I took some sweet Heloc and using it as down payment for the new home. 

Then you are not open to all pets yet not closing off the possibility altogether....So, for example, one small well behaved dog you may approve  (especially one that a previous landlord says was not a noise, damage or other problem) but a pack of loud unruly ones not so much...And you can refine some of what you are looking for in terms of size, behavior, numbers, breeds, ages (no puppies without house training for me, eg), even spaded/neutered (especially for male cats, etc), references (ie how the owner did with a pet in past places), etc... 

If they are not well trained an exercised regularly this gift can get out of hand.Be wary of the renter with the GSD puppy. 

Let me first mention that I rent for my primary housing and also have a rental that I rent to tenantsTo keep it short and sweet...I signed a lease and put down funds to hold a rental in mid April to occupy a unit in mid July. 

Parents also sold this house for a sweet amount of money when all the kids move out.I would say YES buy, Haggle the price down, prepare to put in some nice noise reducing windows and maybe a taller fence.

I also don't have any issue with allowing pets if the proper measures are taken Rental Insurance "Confirm there is no restrictions with a pet in the policy", get a pet deposit, clearly state what pets are allowed "I saw a TV interview the other day on a guy with a Puma for a pet...not what you want in your rental house", background check and a limit on how many pets "You don't need a puppy mill at your property either."
