I live on the East Coast, and renting here is dumb. I have a mortgage of $1000 plus escrow. I could easily rent my house for $2500 or more.

I dream of building an extensive rental community with buses, stores, local restaurants, and other amenities. I would charge 50% above cost, assuming the math works out. I hope to push the rental and housing market down in my area, allowing people to afford houses.

If I ever get close to that reality, the lottery would do it; I would start to see if this dream can be real, let alone do it.
