and those are college graduates with masters (graduated years ago) that make over 150k per year.what do you do with "normal wear and tear". i am tired of spending 1k for carpet every time a tenant moves out.

I'm so tired of moving!

Keep working anywhere, anytime, with my wife and business partner, and staying close to the children until they're truly sick and tired of me ;)Loved everybody else's stories - good work, folks, and inspiring stuff!

The only con now is I must make time to go and check up on the property to make sure no code violations (grass being mowed, no vehicles parked in grass, fence not falling down, etc).

The return on the rental property, based on the dollar amount invested, is at least equivalent to the reduction in student loan monthly payments had I used that money to pay off debt.I think I could do that again, but I am just tired of having the debt sitting over my head.

The reason I wanted to sell was I am a bit tired of landlording.

But be cautious many of them are selling to me at a discount because they have tired of managing properties from afar.

Are bike and walking paths important, bus lines and parking as people move from vehicles to living spaces or shopping.

I agree, it will be interesting to see what types of returns these vehicles will need to produce to be viable.

I have a lease that makes requirements; no inoperable vehicles or machinery, trash carts returned within 24 hours, no furniture or other items left outside unless designed for outdoor use, lawns kept in like manner of other surrounding properties...etc.
