I hear ya’ on trying to do good. We let a family of 8 share hour home when they were flooded out. I was the only one living in it - waiting to get a job near my family so I could sell it and move. They were pretty good, but their idea of how to care for things didn’t match ours and became a sticking point.

But if it’s just a structure we use as an investment, we should be able to not care what happens to it, right? That’s what I’m aiming for.

What became clear to me is that what is intended to be a kindness is interpreted as stupidity. The moment I sense that brand of abusiveness, that individual or group is removed from my consideration.

About not caring what happens to it: as long as you make a tidy profit and don’t have to take a loss on repairs, etc., you’re good. I trust that you’ll do cost-benefit analysis and prepare for all outcomes. (N.B. This applies especially to your property management firm.) Generosity bites sometimes.
