    Yeah, because the renter will have to pay $5,000 when the AC unit craps out.

      So landlords make no profit at all? I guess they just rent out their properties out of the goodness of their hearts. How selfless. (The tenants pay for that AC unit, repairs are priced into the price of rent.)

        Yes. If you’re not actively using the land you should sell it - if that were the general practice, many renters would be land owners themselves and an entire layer of middle management would evaporate.
