How broke are you?

Based on the rent and property gains I've received from that home, more than worth it.

Don't rent. Don't do it. And this is coming from a guy who does NOTHING himself. Hire everything out. I don't even own a lawnmower. I don't paint. I don't landscape. I don't clean. Still worth it. If you are one of those souls that is good with your hands and actually likes fixing shit, I can't think of a better thing to do than to buy a fixer upper of a house (not in cash) and gradually fix it up while you live there, maybe rent out a basement or create a live in apartment for some income property within it.

”I don’t clean”? how is your personal hygiene?

I'm a poker player, man. It's well known we stink. Can't leave the table on a heater.

I pay a housekeeper. But if they could figure out some water bed I can lay in that would clean me while I sleep - sign me up.
