What do you like about being a landlord?

This discussion thread occurred to me this morning, as I'm curious to see what other people have to say.

For me, I realized today that one of the things I like about being a landlord is not having to put up with any BS any longer than I want to. Case in point: when I have difficult tenants, and their lease is up, I can send them packing. It's the landlord's equivalent of "You're fired". I enjoy the fact that I can fire difficult tenants and re-hire nicer tenants, all at my heart's choosing, and I can say "You know what? I'd rather let this place go vacant for a month than to put up with one more month of your crap". 

So, what do you like about being a landlord?

The ability to make a positive difference in my community by striving to provide clean, safe, affordable, comfortable and quiet housing for responsible renters.
