I am getting way too old to have that kind of parental relationship any longer with anyone.
That's the exact reason I didn't sell the condo I live in. I don't want to start renting and have to ask permission for anything from anyone. I've got a dog, I make holes in the walls, I regularly change the paint or the tile or wiring or whatever. Sometimes I feel dumb for not selling this place at the peak (I've had it since 1998) but I think I'm going to hang onto it for a long, long time. At the price I got it, it will be positive-cash-flowing as a rental when I buy a house and move out.
