ill happily answer your question..
the housing market has some good capital appreciation if you hold a property. prices of property climbing increases weath.. leaves renters in more of a ditch as the buy in is much higher. but day to day renting there is little to no return. most look for it as a tax write off for other income..
As a landlord you gotta roll with the punches dealing with various renters until you sell and cash in on the capital appreciation. its only a long term view that makes it viable.. No capital appreciation and many renters will be out on their arse.
renters dont get the concept of building wealth.. they think, ill try save money for a deposit but if they save $1 and the property goes up $5, they continue to go backwards. so they basically tap out and go back to smoking and gambling. renters are still waiting for property prices to go down.. been waiting for a hundred years
