The current company, after subtracting all expenses, brought in 6000$ last year, which doesn't seem a lot based on my research, so I might have to change.Concerns: If the current crisis gets worse, I imagine less people will travel or won't be willing to pay as much.

Large increases from small numbers will sound alarming, when the fact is, we still have a housing inventory crisis.

And you can use it to buy another investment property, pay for your daughter's wedding, or buy a mid-life crisis toy.

Rent-to-income in some cities are getting close to what we saw pre-financial crisis.
