It depends on where you live and the reports of bad landlords are legion. Santee Fats is right about hiring a professional property manager. Even if one owns enough properties to be expert, it pays to have a buffer between you and the occasional criminal that leaks through the tenant screening process.

Both landlords and tenants are well served by researching, but only tenants can be undone by the sale of their building. Our new owner doesn't like to do its legally mandated repairs.
