I own a 4 family with 3 other people. I have had it for a decade and have not made a single dime off of it. Started out being the good landlord. I would rush right over to fix whatever the tenants broke day or night. Then I noticed they seemed to get a kick out of watching me try to make things right and they’d call over the smallest thing. The last straw was when I had to unclog a toilet one of the dirtbags pooped in minutes before I got there. It was clogged with his beard trimmer. Wound up getting a property manager to deal with the tenants. They all sent us letters saying how they liked it better before the property manager took over. Bummer. Before I owned my house, I always took care of the small stuff where I was renting. Never really bothered the landlord unless it was something beyond me or was going to cost big money. All of the tenants I have in my rental are 2nd and 3rdgeneration section 8 renters so they have probably never thought about taking care of their living areas. So if I get a little break this year(probably won’t though), I will be happy. I will never buy rental property again. Oh and I am being sued this year by someone who clsims they slipped and fell on the property. This was after he was arrested earlier in the day for domestic abuse.
