OK, what's your plan for housing then? Run right out and purchase your own home? Got the cash and credit for that I assume?

Oh, and if your HVAC dies, the only phone call you're making is to the local contractor. Hopefully it's a $20 capacitor and not a $5,000 new unit. Hope you've got a lot of DIY experience or a load of cash!

    If the renter doesn't pay for maintainance who does? Are you willing to run a monthly loss of $100/month or would raise rents to cover or even sell the property?

    The solution is cooperative housing and community land trusts plus social housing.
