    yeah, it's not like there has ever been a renter who's done damage to the place they've rented. you're absolutely assured that this hot chick is gonna leave the place in pristine condition.

    does your neighbor still have the killer dog? if so, I'd be worried about this chick inviting the pooch over for the occasional clam-and-Skippy feast. then you have those unsightly peanut butter stains on the carpet.

    We have found a subject that Coach knows something about! :trophy:

    Still have to factor in potential inconvenience of dealing with a renter, though.

    sadic1, you can go through a rental agency that for 10% of rent per month will handle everything as far a problems go. if something breaks, they'll just take that money out of the rent paid to them and give you the rest. i've got a buddy doing that right now and he said it works out pretty good for him.

    I've heard of that, and it does sound pretty good, but it sort of locks you into declaring the income, I'd think.

    Realestate goes up in value if you have half a brain to determine where to purchase. He already stated he wasn't too iterested in other types of investments. I don't see how his land on the outskirts of a growing area can lose value. I'm not going to claim I know squat about investing, but I've never known anyone to lose with this level of involvement.
