Today’s food for thought from Julie Schmit:  “Mom-and-Pop investors like the Basilis are snapping up homes and condominiums to rent out all over the country.  They’re capitalizing on a confluence of events:  depressed home prices, rising rents and strong rental demand.  A typical plan?  Buy cheap.  Collect rents to cover costs.  Cash out-one day-when home prices recover.”  “It sounds so easy; however, not everybody is cut out to be a landlord.”  Fred
