Great Newsweek article, really paints the real picture with rental investments. It’s hard work, and you’re mostly counting on some appreciation for the investment to really pay off over time.

I found the credit bailout article interesting. My brother has some medical issues and has fell behind on credit card bills. He got a call from the company saying they would settle for 50%.

Thanks for the mention on my IRA asset allocation post.

Just read the Accidental Slumlord article. Well written, and definitely causes one to step back and think.

I really like this line, from the Accidental Slumlord article:

“I still hope to make money here, but I’m more aware that no matter how much I try to be the benevolent landlord, my profits are based partly on exploitation; what I’ve thought of as “cash flow” comes by allowing some discomfort in the lives of others.”
