It is a nice house, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and it was in excellent condition until the welfare queen moved in. The expenses run up quick as they poke holes in screens, clog the disposal, need a plumber because one of the kids flushed a toy, and break windows now and then. It will cost thousands to repair the excessive wear and damage from these people. When section 8 does their annual inspection guess who pays to repair all of the things that they broke? If I don't repair the problems they shut the payments off.

It just cost me $1,500 for a lawyer to evict a tenant that is over $4,000 behind on rent? And also, that tenant has intentionally left the outside garden hose on for over two months to run up my water bill because I had the nerve to evict her. The quarterly water bill just came in at $1,545.

It's time to get out of the rental business!
