It's anecdotal of course but before my wife and I married we negotiated two rules: no going into politics and no being a landlord. The latter was the result of her parents holding commercial properties and having one tenant who upon eviction for non-payment broke into second floor they weren't rented and stealing everything.

Sure enough every few years that particular motorcycle dealership has a going out of business sale and move locations, so it seems like a pattern. But the point is even in commercial real estate you may be completely in the right and still get ripped off by professional scam artists or left spending tens of thousands pursuing justice in the courts as my in laws had to do.
