The things you are talking about won't increase the rents or perception of the property much at all.

My own opinion (and just that an opinion), the original person may have been referring to common perceptions about "age", i.e. that you have a short time horizon, lower risk tolerance etc.  

Even more than just that, I really believe there is a strong chance a judge will have a different perception of this scenario than they have for most cases of squatting.  

The investing model you develop for yourself will empower you to be able to take action and feel comfortable in whatever investment you own/flip/or participate in.I would also change your perception of debt so you can see the advantages of leveraging debt for cashflowing assets.  

And once this kind of behavior goes in, the right and most humane thing to do is make it very clear to the tenant in a lasting way that this sort of behavior is not permissible from adults in our society who have signed a contract with each other, because it isn't.Yes MA is a tenant-friendly state.

There is just way too much liability with our litigious society.  

no average jo blo can save their way to wealth, society keeps people in debt, ergo amortization of debt....buying and hoarding stuff(in storage you pay busting out of your garage no less ), stuff you don't need rotting in storage or does not have value other than cashflow for storage unit business owners.

That's my perception and opinion, anyhow; I'm sure they vary.

The perception that landlords are all greedy is popular, and one that can lead to legislative changes.

I do not feel inauthentic, or like I did something to placate a racist society.
