Let’s stack it against the requirements for financial freedom:If you buy property in a city where rent increases exceed inflation, you will have the extra income necessary to maintain your standard of living throughout your life, despite inflation.Rental income is a near-perpetual income that you can pass on to your children and their children.

The distributions are nowhere near high enough to tying up principal in perpetuity. 

I am pleasantly surprised that you are finding it hard to find a lawyer to take your case (not that I believe the lawyer stereotype).  

Am I engaging in appalling stereotypes?

Because the landlord is a dick and I paid my rent or because u want to stereotype me with a legal term if I where an applicant and u used this against me and denied me because of it .in California I believe I might have legal action against you.

If you provide the machine then it will be your responsibility to maintain it in perpetuity. 

Not stating this as a stereotype; just from experience. 

Have you ever encountered someone from the northern regions expressing a desire to retire in a perpetually cold and overcast place where they'd spend their days shoveling snow in sub-zero temperatures?

However, that stereotype limits the tenant pool which limits your ability to fill your place.  

Since you mentioned NNN, I'm guessing that you aren't in love with actively managing property in perpetuity moving forward.
