I worked with a property management company for a while they leased plenty of properties for capital companies, the standard was:-$250. to $300 extra on the security deposit per pet, -total of 3 pets, no more-no large fish tanks -no large breed dogs or vicious/dangerous breeds (double check this)-size of the unit definitely matters-always ask for shot record/vet paper-but, if they don't have them don't make a big deal about it-always do a pet addendum, if there is damage to the property or health/safety for the community-this will violate the lease agreement.

So if you need to make $5K a month to meet your and your family's needs for housing, food, activities, health insurance - that's your freedom number.

I love to work on property, but what happens if for health reasons I am laid up and can no longer continue at this pace.

I also worry that the property might have a need for some type of health or safety remediation.

He now is complaining that duct system smells of mold and is affecting his health.  

i know your not asking this but to break the pattern, it is best for your mental health to be hands off arms length from your short term or long term tenents, weather they are 12 month lease tenants, friends relatives, sympathy to strangers, you should give to property manager or a manager who will do short term monthly rental, and separate yourself and remove emotion. ps., in florida now, you have an unlawful detainer action and there is still a due process, attorney is needed and there is no throwing someone out on your own, that is not going to happen or you'd lose alot more than you lost now. we buy properties like this and pay for the attorney.
