Last and biggest problem with the Dutch123 post before you fire up the lynch mob. What about taxes on the house of at least $500 and insurance $100, maintenance certainly not $0 and then through in a one month vacancy and OOOOPPPSSS there goes the $800 differential and its a loss. Oh yeah there is also the problem of telling the Mrs. that they are moving out of the 4BR/3BA 2300 suburban tract home and squeezing the family of 4 into a 600 sq ft urban studio apratment for the $800 rent.
