Landlords, is your own place better than your rental properties?

I remember one time my son told me..."This is actually nicer, why don't we move here instead of renting out?"

So I am just curious, do you all stay at bigger, better more updated homes in a nicer neighborhood then your rentals?

Also, is your home in better conditions compared to your rentals?

I remember my wife once told me..."Hey Sam, one of our garage overhead light has a bad ballast and it's been that way for six months and you don't have time to fix it, but if a tenant calls you with a jambed or stuck bifold closet door you run over the next day...can you please get your priority in the proper order?"

Do you also put your tenant's repair items ahead of your own?
