You're also cultivating a habit of disliking tenants for being tenants, and that's not going to help you in the long run.If they weren't severely damaged in some way, would they really be living in your properties and paying you rent to make you richer, instead of finding a way to become homeowners and stop pouring money down a black hole?

Carefully cultivate the ability to laugh at your pretensions.
