General Q: to the longtime investors and housing providers

[Kathryne Omaits]

Hi BP community:

Twice in the last week on different platforms (Quora and Atlanta House Share) I've seen 2 posts from people saying that if a person is investing/providing housing that they should not be doing it as their sole income and from one, "They have no business doing this as sole income and the bank made a very serious mistake."   I seriously don't understand their thinking.  I want to be self-employed and I'm aware it takes hard work and patience, which providing housing can certainly test.   Would really love to hear comments from you folks.
