The thing I hate most about my dad being a landlord... fixing stupid stuff at really bad times. When people don't own the property they really don't give a chit about anything. Things as simple as giving a few turns of the screw driver or replacing a burnt out bulb... they just don't care enough to do it. The worst is the basement. People store stuff there then don't claim it when they move out. At one of our old houses we noticed the water bill skyrocket one month. We went over there to see what was going on and found an illegal immigrant motel of sorts. Some couple we had rented the place to had invited all their immigrant friends and relatives to live with them. Renting propery can be a great source of income... just be ready for the headaches cuz it's not always so easy!
