Cash positive rental properties or leveraged debt ?

[Ima saver]

I had three rental houses. My experiences were terrible and I lost money on every one of them. My dh had to spend all his time fixing up things. When we sold, we got less than what we paid for them, but I would have given them away to get away from the stress!!

Consider also when you rent if people don't pay rent and start squatting it can be impossible to get rid of them.
