This may sound hard to believe, but after nearly 20 years of landlording, some of them were really bad years, with really crappy tenants, and not making a penny during those years, I actually enjoy being a landlord.
The learning curve is steep, and there are always lousy situations that pop up, but , once you know the laws, and what is expected from you, it gets easier.
I think I/we have made nearly every landlord mistake, and or learned most every lesson the hard way, but it feels like we have it under control now .
I get a certain high from evicting bad tenants, rehabbing a crappy property and turning it around , and making into a good property . Its kind of like turning a rusty old pick up truck into a workhorse .
My wife and I just finished up , and rented #5, This will be the first time in all our years, that we have full tenancy with good paying rents, and decent tenants. Boy has it been a ride though .
I can also see the money starting to pile up .
I just cannot see rent control happening here. I hope I am right about that . Rents are finally up in our area .
