Being a traditional landlord can be quite lucrative without resorting to manipulative tactics and having the local police at your beck and call.

Out of control rent and housing prices are a symptom of a greater problem. Too many investors thinking they should turn insane profits year over year at the expense of ordinary folks who don’t have a lot of other options.
