You can get reliable maintenance estimates and keep the rent near costs plus a small profit easily enough. Charging the market price that's been illegally pushed up by a cartel is not defensible.

Who the hell said anything about any of that?! Jesus, a guy talks about renting his house when he retires and suddenly he's a corporate slumlord.

Probably because you talked about needing a ton of profit. When I think you meant revenue to cover costs and then some profit, but not extreme amounts.
