All have lost significant value.

All have renters who have lost their jobs and are late on rent.

There was one time when I would have been impressed with someone owning six rental houses.

And the Bush Depression marches on...

2. Couldn't pay me enough to be a landlord, especially in these times
 When my father died by sister and I were left with a couple of rental houses that he had. Since we had to live up to the contract I was doing the landlord thing for nearly a year. It was a royal pain, especially evicting one renter who was months and months behind on rent.

Never again. The only property I want to worry about is my own.

3. I know a couple of people who own...
 ...rental properties as well.

They were flying high a decade ago. The money poured in.

Both of these people are writing off losses on these properties--because the renters lost their jobs
and broke the contract---and they can't get other renters.

These are nice properties. Condos that have reasonably priced rent.

To top it off, the owner of these properties just lost his job at Wells Fargo.

So...there ya go.


Wow, who'd have thunk...income that comes with work, and with risk.   :o :o :o      ::)

6. If it weren't for landlords....
 ....where would people who cannot afford a house live? Forgot about that, huh?

I own two rent houses and 158 apartments. All have been paid for for years. I make a nice living off of providing nice housing for those who either choose to or cannot afford to own a home. Yes, it's a hassle, but like I said, I make a nice living. Owning rental properties is not for everyone. If you want a landlord to be compassionate, pay your rent. Can't pay your rent? What's the alternative? Sorry, you are not going to sponge off of me. I will evict you in a heartbeat! You entered into a contract to pay on time...every time. If I bought a house from you and quit making payments after three months, would you let me keep it? Hell no!

There are no free rides. Work, pay taxes, die. If you want to try to scam people out of their money......go to prison. That is the biggest free ride our government offers. A roof over your head, three squares, and free tv. And, we all pay for it!

OUCH!!  I bet that left a mark!!   :lmao:

All have lost significant value. Stop stealing the copper from 'em all, and their values wouldn't go down, eh?

There was one time when I would have been impressed with someone owning six rental houses.  But now you know that he's gonna get taken down a notch or six by Da Messiah, and you can't wait to see that oppressive bourgeoisie bastard take it in the shorts, can you?

And the Bush 00000000bama/Pelosi/Reid/Rangel/Dodd/Shumer/Kennedy/Kerry Depression marches on...

I wonder if anybody came back on Uben after he whomped 'em one.  I'm a landlady myself, and I applaud his words.  I haven't had any nightmares yet that you sometimes hear about (squatters, etc.).  But we were very picky about who we'd accept.  We live there, too, and the house is on the National Registry.  Nobody's going to trash an historic relic on my watch.  

We're not naive, but we sure were shocked by the number of single mothers.  It's like the norm, now.

Where was the beginning "SO"?  This one goes into near earth orbit.

I bet one could get them some gubmint pokulus grants to study bouncy types and psychological disorder types.
