the risks of renting to the wrong people are very high

especially if you haven’t done it before

and more and more people treat where they live like crap, especially if it’s not theirs

no vested responsibility, no concern

if they are told because of what they’ve done the security deposit isn’t coming back they trash the place.

Absolutely they are- a local store that has old run down cabins behind it, just sold and the owners can’t seem to be able to evict a vagrant who slept in one of the cabins for a log time now- they are having a terrible time getting him out=- He’s mentally ill- and refuses to leave-

Indeed. Renting out a home you actually like and value (one that you may want to go back and live in some day) isn’t an option that I would consider - even with a first/last and deposit AND credit checks and all that. As you say, some renters will just gut or trash a place or just put years of age on it in just short time. If you’re gonna rent something out, buy an investment property and don’t waste a lot of money on it.
