> When I was a kid it was essentially unheard of to own a second property for rent. Sorry but that’s flat-out wrong. Owning a second property for rent has always been a thing. How would you have known, you were a kid! Case in point: my family was middle class. My parents were a college professor (new grad from graduate school, not a big deal) and a stay-at-home mom, living in suburban America. They owned a second property for rent. I didn’t even know until 20 years later that they had owned it! Lest you think I’m some kid who grew up in the 00’s: no, I grew up in the 60s and 70s.
