I would only want to put them in a hard to backfill space that other tenants passed on that way they occupy a space I had a hard time filling anyways and if they make it I get extra income I would not have otherwise had.A landlord would not want IN PERPETUITY in a lease at least for a payment they pay.

Hey @Tzook Bar Noy, I am a realtor/ investor in Palm Beach County.

My question is this - should I get a new job so I can keep a steady income while gaining access to the stock $ for investing or should I take some of that money and live off of it for a year while focusing all my attention on real estate?

I get an extra 35/month per dog and an extra 600 on the deposit that is refundable.  

And also, how do I make sure I get whatever rent is owed to me throughout September if she doesn't pay what I increased it to...

This is the space where an investor can continue to grow their portfolio even in this market.Now, if you don't want to do rehab and I don't blame you because I've found out the hard way in past ventures that I really really suck at carpentry and most things that aren't basic mechanicals like HVAC (I was an aircraft mechanic in a past life so I "get" things you can assemble with bolts better than how to cut wood in a perfectly straight line even with a jig), there are options to have general contractors and specialist subcontractors do the rehab for you.
