[QUOTE=ComingfromCT;2039168]What are your experiences with renting out your house or investment property?

My wife and I am in the midst of buying a house in TV, Yeah! We are not financially quite ready to retire and move in yet but wanted to buy before the house prices went up any higher. So, we plan to rent our place unfurnished for a year or more.


From my limited experience, it will be very difficult to rent an unfurnished house. Most of the rentals are furnished. Also, you will be competing with landlords who bought several years ago - you can make money as a landlord if you bought for $150,000 to $200,000 as opposed to buying for $250,000 to $300,000.
