Hehe, yeah. I've considered buying a property to rent out, as I've had some deals tossed my way here and there.
But man, having heard many stories like that it certainly gives me pause. Even with someone who's not purposely out to fuck you, but is otherwise a bad tenant is terrible enough.
My landlord in Chicago owns a 3-flat unit. One guy above me stopped paying rent, and it took about 6-7 months to actually get the locks changed. I went and helped clean the place out - and it was a huge shithole, basically what you hear about in the stories. Mountains of trash, never cleaned, etc. We probably broke some law somewhere by tossing all the stuff in the dumpster, but he luckily never heard back.
