Merely claiming you have suffered a hardship without evidence isn't sufficient.Now that is certainly going to include a lot of tenants but there is not an assumption on the part of the court that a tenant is facing a hardship written into the law. 

Your percentage gain would apply to $200k or $800k or $1 to $5 million....And admittedly, if real estate dropped by much.....you'd suffer that percentage on small, medium or large portfolio.So.....risk versus reward of using debt/leverage.

That is if they aren't suffering evictions, foreclosures, vacancies, ARM's, loans being called, the one mill in town closing, etc.

And when one financial market suffers, the money generally just moves to a different one.

If they bought high and couldn't hold on then I'm sure they suffered. 

Your investment may not get the attention it needs, or if something happens at another property, your will suffer from decreased oversight), Performance based compensation structure.

You talk of suffering for another 40 years, though with some sound budgeting I imagine you could create huge wealth in 10 years simply through saving.

If I were a landlord, I'd have to suffer tenants, and there are laws about their rights.

Who would hope for millions to suffer so that they can make a gain?

And you will suffer the consequences - you may blame the tenant, but it's really on you for not training them.
