You mean that your phone isn't buzzing 24/7 with people chirping about 'will you rent that house' even if half the windows are broken and there's a visible hole in the roof?  Around here, all you really need is the perception that your might own that house up the road, whether you actually own it or not. 

I'm sorry..........I'm no help.  I'm just glad we're rid of the potential rental houses we've had.
