They deteriarate they need massive up keep and then the wonderfull property taxes.

And yes tgey gain value untill a bubble burts and you building is worth a quoter of what you payed for it.  yay. 

So between buying a building and renting out the best option is to rent in your PoV? That seems very out of left field, I never heard that before.

Do the upkeep and taxes match rent? I'd be very surprised if they do. What about the money earned on reselling, does that count for nothing?

No I agree with Trucks here.

Would they be selling if it was profitbale, not likely.

It was a cost, when times are good they could eat it.  When times are tough you get rid of whats draining you.
