Not impossible that they end up making $20-40,000 including tax treatment on their investment for a bit over 2 years.
We are renting our house out. It isn’t all it cracked up to be. Taxes and the District bill eat up a lot. The rental management eats up some and we still have taxes for Leesburg, Lake county and the school district. I promise you, they didn’t or aren’t going to make out.
