I thought about getting into real estate like this, but my experience being a poor renter made it feel too parasitic. Does it bother you being a landlord who sucks money out of the…

For every touchy feely anecdote like this there are ten for the subtle stresses imposed by daily commutes.

Not to mention the enormous environmental and social costs of having to move for a new job.
