Being a Landlord is a Fantastic Idea!

So I bought this piece of a piece house a few years back and busted my ass to fix it up and thought it would be a great rental income property. Wrong. Real estate is not an investment. I don't care what anyone else tells me.

I found a great tenant who loved the place, with no criminal history, a good credit score, good report from the past landlord and she makes almost as much money as I do, perfect right?

Well the stripper sent me an email the other day "Kelsey, I have a few questions. I know you can't control mother nature but..." Seriously?? I'm sorry the yard is flooded, do you really want to run around the yard during a torrential downpour anyways? I'm sorry the basement is wet, did I mention torrential downpour and oh yeah, freeways are closed due to flooding and basements everywhere are flooded, yours is wet, you live in Michigan. I will be right over with my spray foam again...
