That boat came and went some time back

What boat?
Rentals.
It was all the rage some years ago as it was a good way to make money but then any idiot with a bit of money decided it was a way to quick riches and...it sort of stopped being so profitable. For some reason.
Thats probally just the UK though of course. Different abroad.

I don't know if it was ever the rage here, but as home prices go up, renting becomes a lot less attractive.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I didn't know who queepeeg was. What a terrible name.

So what are your thoughts on renting the homes in San Antonio? I guess it isn't too much trouble if you don't live there. Are these single family homes you are renting?

One is a 4plex, the other is a single family 4 brd home.
If my dad's girlfriend wasn't living in the 4plex so she can keep and eye on it for us, i'd be pushing to use a rental company and pay their 10% of rent fee as it's worth it to deal with those plumbing issues and other things of such a case.

We had such a company taking care of old property in Washington St, dismissed them for brief bit when a cousin of mine wanted to try and take care of the place, all i can say is :bleeding:

Went back to rental company till we sold the place.

Soooo....I'd get a Languish Discountâ„¢ on a rental house in SA, right?   And someone here will take care of all my needs, maintenance wise, yes?  :shifty:

I rent a house to Air force people, and they don't cause much problems. Military folk are good people. That and I can tattle on them if they act up.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
