When you own the house you are the landlord so you have to pay for every single problem that goes wrong, so that's fun. Speaking of landlords: when your tenants don't pay you rent and squat on your property and won't leave... it can take up to six months to legally kick them out... all the while they're not paying rent. And you can be damn sure when you do get the property back it's going to be trashed and you'll have to pay even more to get it cleaned up and ready for the next customer that may or may not pay you. Fun times.
This is a typical and very real experience of a landlord that almost feels like many tenants who choose to be unruly know about this and milk it dry after convincing the landlords that they are well-behaved and responsible. Thanks for your great insights🙏
