One of my cats (always a house cat) will literally run to me for help if it's anything bigger than a fly. He got scared of a dust bunny and came crying at one point.
On my my barn cats got let into an attic that we suspected had rats in it. She wouldn't come down for days till she finished the job. One day we were on the porch, and heard scrambling on the roof. Nex thing we know she's taking a 12 foot dive from off the top rope with an 8 inch rat in her clutches.
Yes i get that, but if i buy a house and rent it out i have to take the risk that the house is fucked afterwords, i have to fix stuff and i want to be compensated for my effort, therefore i have to charge adequate rent. Why am i not allowed to charge enough to cover my costs?
This might sound crazy, but a lot of (maybe even most) people can't afford to spend hundreds of thousands of [currency] for a house, even if they qualify for a mortgage.
