Everyone that I've talked to about their rental property usually talks about it in terms of just the cash flow though. So yeah, they'll complain about unexpected costs that bring them close to "break even" in many years, but then after 30 years they have a $500,000 (or however much it's worth) asset. So I don't feel too bad for them, and it makes sense why so many people do this if they can afford to.
