No…well, depends. Equity? Yes…depending on how you write off the taxes vs income from the rent. Personally, we’ve wiped out years of income from our property. We’ve installed air conditioning (to get away from expensive oil heat), had to replace the water heater, repaint the interior, pay for foundation repair, pay for rain gutter installation…we’ve wiped out 3 years worth of “profit” from the property. So we’re making nothing (other than equity, some of which is coming out of our own pockets) for the immediate future. Yes, we’re “losing” money. We are consciously not being assholes to our tenants, who are good people. We’d rather have stable, reliable, good tenants who are responsible than people we’re fucking over for a few bucks who know exactly what we’re doing and are gonna thrash the place. It’s a two way street. We respect them, and they return the favor.
