I feel like the whole rental property argument had too much input from two people who obviously donโt own rental properties (and maybe arenโt even homeowners). What Kev said was right. I have a fairly decent rental property built in 2005. In 2019 I had a tenant who had been there for 8 years move out. I spent almost $5k replacing carpet, paint, updating systems, fixing little things... Only to have one tenant move out after 2 months and the property to get flooded after the 3rd tenant of 2019 moved in. They are good investments, but sometimes you just donโt feel like dealing with the ๐ฉ You have to feel like doing it. I feel like it, but Iโm not putting down anyone who doesnโt. And, again, if youโve never bought and MAINTAINED (there is a difference, because some people buy houses they canโt afford to maintain) house the first, tread lightly.
