re: Is renting single family homes no longer profitable?

Is renting single family homes no longer profitable?

Buying houses to rent have rarely been "profitable."

With the non-cash depreciation expense applied most rental house owners take a loss on their property in order to shelter some or all of their employment income from income taxes.

I think the term you're looking for instead of "profitable" is "positive or breakeven cash flow."

The real question is does a rental house property generate enough cash flow to pay the mortgage and other out-of-pocket expenses so that the owner can build equity in the property without it costing him cash.

Most people today don't realize the average mortality age for men in the mid-to-late 18th century was 35-40 years old.

Of course, that average young age was skewed by the high death rate for newborns and children succumbing to childhood diseases.

re: Vader’s Model Desk: Lockheed P-38J Lightning

Posted by LSURussian on 7/3/26 at 4:02 pm to Darth_Vader

My Dad told me a P-38 likely saved his life in December, 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge.

He was pinned down by a German machine gun. He said he was in an open field stretched out on the ground in the snow trying to get as low as he could.

His backpack was shot off his back as the MG swept the field.

He told me it was the only time he was in combat where he thought, "This is it. I'm done." (It still makes me in awe he was only 23 years old at the time that happened.)

Then a P-38 passed low and strafed the German side of the line. The MG went silent and my dad got up and hauled arse until he found a ditch to take cover in. :usa:
