If I understand this correctly, the pain is because you depreciated the assets in the first few years, offsetting other tax liabilities, and now you must pay those back even if exiting the properties at a wash?

If so, it seems like the unfairness is in the other direction: landlording allowed you to essentially pull forward a tax credit, which a W-2 job doesn't allow.
