    You’re still paying for the water heater, the expense is just hidden over long term inflated rent prices.

      Yes, a buffer built into the rental price (“inflated” is a loaded term; rents can be inflated, but a rental price set to cover mortgage and amortized expenses isn’t by definition inflated), but it’s still stable.
