Thanks for noting this. I rent out one property, which I used to live in. We couldn't sell it for a decent price in 2008, so we started renting it out. What a freaking nightmare. Every tenant we had drove nicer cars and had higher incomes, but most were irresponsible in some way. Many damaged the house. It's not a remotely profitable venture. We only keep the house because we might want to move back in someday. (It's all one level and we're 50-plus, and can foresee a time when we will want to lose the stairs.) For the last couple of years, my son has rented it. If he ever wants to move, we'll probably sell it rather than rent to another tenant.
