We're reluctant landlords, and if we could sell our house for what we need, we would sell it in a heartbeat. In 2012, we evicted tenants from h==l, it costs us $20,000 in clean up and repairs plus 4 1/2 months to get it ready to rent, the next tenants left owing us $2,300, and we spent roughly $4,000 in clean up and repairs, hopefully, the tenants we have now, will be good ones. It doesn't seem to matter how good their credit or background is. We aren't making any money off the rent, it pays the mortgage, taxes and insurance. There is NO WAY that I want to be a landlord once we can sell that house. We're still recovering from 2012, then had to spend $9,000 just a couple of weeks ago, for a new A/C and heating unit.
