He didn't ask about folk's experience owning rental property or how it affected their life.
He didn't ask if others thought it was a good or bad idea to become a landlord.
He didn't ask about anyone else's experience as a landlord.
He didn't ask for investment advice.
He asked a simple, straight-forward question about the tax consequences of buying a rental property.
Instead of providing answers, most everyone who responded, made up their own question and then provided their answer to it.
No wonder people get frustrated with Discussion Boards and social media of this type ... everyone is an expert, but no one takes the time to read the question that was asked ... they make up their own question.

I have to disagree with your post. The OP said that he wants the experience from someone who has a rental home. You don't need to own a rental home to answer a tax question. All you need is Google, AI, or to go to the IRS website. I agree that the OP didn't specifically ask a rental home question, but he definitely invited posters to share their experiences as a landlord. And that is what many posters did.
