One bad tenant will prevent other tenants from paying their rent (they won't tell you that is why they aren't paying).Bottom line, I would do it and I would pay special attention to the tenant screening process.Cheers.

How much is maintenance and preventative maintenance on that sort of house?

I would worry if the floors were out of kilter enough to prevent a normal person from standing up right or walking on the floor without falling.

@Rasmus Elmstrøm Sorry to hear about your accident. 

Imagine how many angry phone calls you will receive when one or two tenants accidently set off the alarm systems at night?

In the past month he has been in five car accidents.

We by accident bought an amazing house deal we flipped to our taste and with the expansion of our family after living there only 2 years we had to sell (no capital gains!).

I understand the spirit of preventing investors from using loans meant for owner-occs, but that argument doesn't fully explain this provision in my opinion.

But when your house is on fire and you see someone pouring gasoline on it, you suddenly become uninterested in who started the fire and more concerned with those preventing you from putting it out.
