Had to put a few thousand into the stove.

Back in '05 I needed to raise a few thousand for a project so I offered one of my single family homes for rent at $850 a month or $7,500 for the year with a one time upfront payment.

But I'd say a few hundred dollars a month is worth it if you're closing on thousands of dollars worth of deals coming direct to you.

Tax deed auctions are competitive, if the property has value above the taxes it will sell (and even most times when it doesn't there's still a sucker who can't pass up the chance to own something for a few thousand dollars)

There are thousands of "high end" apartment building units under construction right now around Inner Harbor.  

They keep paying partial and partial and before you know it they are thousands behind in rent or worse.

I know several investors that own thousands of mobile home lots, hundreds of houses, and commercial real estate and carry every thing in their own name.

This person can pay late and ruin your credit for eternity, and there is not a thing you can do for the rest of your life under today's rules.

Letter states thousands of mortgages have been miscalculated and there could be a refund due.

I'm just seeing carpet ruined in  a few years  with renting - would with renting experience come to the same conclusion.
