Why, because you need people to buy those houses, and people's incomes only rise at the rate of inflation. 

But I think people tend to look at what a rental property is going to do in year 1 and just pass it by.i.e.

I personally would never invest money in an area that I didn't know, with people I didn't know, in a business I knew nothing about.

@Anirudh Reddy you should NOT depend onthe cops to remove homeless people and squatters unless you verify the local laws and what the police will actually do.HOW are they getting access to the building?

Just open a separate bank account, give it a business name and keep track of all income and expenses.

Even using bank statements from your business is an alternative. 

They have a huge library of free information on how to properly set up leases, rules, handle situations, etc. which we still find helpful when managing for other people.

However, not many people are eager to do that.Once you’ve established your budget and your level of comfort with sacrifices, buy the best deal in your market.

How does anyone find a way out of the scourge of renting with these kinds of business practices by landlords?
