In a rental situation, this can be extraordinarily bad news for the LL.

@Sean Autry that is horrible news I just put $5900 of that in house!

So good news is at 2% appreciation you're breaking even (bleeding cash but increasing equity) .

I heard this on the news the other day. 

The good news is there are legal structures that can be put in place to eliminate the possibility of losing big in that case, even if insurance won't do the trick.

Good news: you're in the right place to get started. :)
