You'd be surprised, it could be fun and you could be forced to take a tax-deductible trip to your property once in a while. it could be a nice lifestyle + profit combination.In any case, I think it's great that you made those comments .

Found through agent after 8 months of searching while doing Air Force pilot training duties "on the side" xD.

I feel like that would be a great way to force equity in the house.

She boldly claimed, "If you think gas prices are high now, just wait until you're forced to drive an electric vehicle,"I, like many others, doubt she has actually driven an EV let alone charged one.

After much legal advice, I understand I can't force a tenant in CA to leave (no-fault evictions are illegal here) unless they are arrested on the property, stop paying rent, or if you have a family member move in.

I compare leverage, insurability, taking write offs, cash flow, monthly  expenses, transportability, speed of decline in a crash, ease of unloading in a crash, forced equity improvement, things like that.

I'm not saying you can't find deals but buying 100 year old houses with no upside in value or forced appreciation is tough.

If you force the tenant to pay for repairs, they are more likely to hide what needs to be done. 

Meaning you will pay both sides attorneys fees as well as end up with other possible costs going forward in your life and possible court forced asset liquidations and kicked out of your home.

By having that as a minimum, owners are forced to deal with guests as tenants.
