Rental property

 Hello everyone,

Another update on the "American Dream"

While the pandemic is continuing to effect our lives, we work to stay afloat.  Rental landlords have taken a hit with tenants who can't or won't pay their rent for whatever reason, and manylandlords will have to use up whatever surplus they might have to stay afloat.  It is one part of a vast industry in the real estate world.  It's working at the 'people" level.  And if working with people directly is not for you, then avoid it.  You may have heard the statement "Toilets and tenants", while it's true.  It may not be the toilet exactly, but it can be the sink, the stove, the carpet, or a hairline crack in a double-pane window.  It can be from "wear and tear" or just dirty, lazy, filthy people you allow to inhabit the structure you allow them to rent from you.  And getting involved with Section-8 thinking you are helping someone in need while you auto-collect part of the tenant's rent - think twice before you do this.  The housing inspectors can hurt you more than help you with their less than quality "so-called" inspections.

You're better off just living in your home and enjoying it; and if you want to invest in the real estate world, stay away from rentals, unless you enjoy the headaches. Oh, and lease options can fall in the same category.
