Yeah, that’s exactly why I don’t want to be a landlord, even if the numbers currently make sense. My neighbor rented to a family that did considerable damage to his place while having serious financial problems that affected payment of rent. I think he had to go to court to get them out or something like that. He eventually said forget it and sold. Right at the bottom of the market.
I wonder what the realtors on this site are saying to their prospective sellers: “Sell now while the market is hot” or “Wait, wait, don’t do it”.
