I agree with @Alina Trigub in that you should refrain from mentioning on a public forum how much money you have to invest. 

I’m considering placing Section-8 tenants as well and was wondering how the security deposit or additional pet/service fees are handled- tenant or agency?

It's worth around 309,900 but due to some bad luck (Carpet delivery had bad carpet so we had to wait again) we missed the window for back to school to list the house and it's been sitting on the market for a couple weeks with a ton of showings but no offers (Williamson County is one of the top public school districts in the country). 

So if your plan has a high probability of success all the way out to age 100, then the probability only increases if you only live to 85 or 90.Also, with younger clients, I tell them to plan as if Social Security will not be there for them at all (note: I do believe it will be around for a long time, though it will likely look different 30 years from now than it does today, which may mean decreased benefits versus what you could expect if you retired tomorrow), and build a successful plan that way.

The template allows you to use the lease for several properties & when the lease is sent to the Tenant for signing, you can put the rent amount, tenant name, security deposit amount, etc and it will be populated into the lease automatically.

So I was happy with that.That being said and back to your facts @Michael Hooper I think you can claim the $600 from the security deposit because they left trash out.  

See court cases where LL are successful sued for not providing adequate security or failing to provide a habitable living environment.

That being said, if the appraisal comes in low, that is what the lender will use as the value, so you will only be able to secure financing for a portion of that value (say 80%, generally speaking).

somewhere I read if an individual is renting and managing their own house, they have right to refuse ESA and Security dogs. is that true? 

. $2100), I guess it may look favorable for a lender when trying to secure financing for your next property, but that's a stretch.
