When you buy property as a value store, more often than not ot's more trouble than it's worth to rent out. Not to mention that many renters, to put it mildly, don't take care of the building or the area very much, which has a big cost associated with it if you ever want to live there yourself.

Having looked at a lot of overpriced "fixer-uppers" lately, believe me, owners aren't taking care of their places either!
