[pwd72s]

When I recently told a friend about one investment we made, his response was that I should buy a rental house. Having done that some decades back, I told him I'd rather be eaten by a goat and krapped over a cliff than ever be a landlord again.

The only real property I'm interested in is the property I live on.

But to each his own. I have another friend who enjoys the full time job of managing and caring for his 32 residential rentals. Some homes, some multi unit. He's 76 now, and it's a full time job. I pity him, for his time really isn't his own.

Tabby, you may be right about your doomsday scenario. Why should I worry? At age 73, I've had a good life. Not that many years to worry about a doomsday. Now, why discourage this young man?

You know..just maybe..you could be wrong.
