Life’s too short.

This stability can significantly enhance the quality of life for tenants, offering a sense of peace and financial predictability.However, as a landlord, this 5% cap limits my ability to adjust rents based on market conditions and rising costs, thereby reducing profitability.

But as time went on, rents kept going up along with everything else in life. 

It is rural, so the water would drain only onto my land.So some counties in many states regulate how you deal with draining of human used water.

I don't really want to mix business with my personal life.

Then there is risk of life changes.  

@Steve Cribb to be successful, landlords need to set boundaries.Many tenants, especially desperate ones, try to make their problems their landlord's problems.As a PMC, we try to be reasonable, as "life happens" and "tenants are tenants for a reason", meaning they don't plan well and live paycheck to paycheck.Part of our being reasonable though, involves deadlines and we AUTOMATICALLY start the eviction process so a tenant knows this. 

What, the buyer, who is broke AF, is suddenly going to turn their life around? 

My ultimate life goal revolves around investing in communities where I can actively contribute to the flourishing arts scene.Lately, I've teamed up with a group of like-minded friends and investors 🤓, and together, we're embarking on a mission to acquire properties in out-of-state markets that are closely tied to artistic hubs.

Man my life could have been totally different growing up in a Chuck Norris Karate household!!
