Honestly I'm really torn on this one.
Not on the existence of landlords, eff them (that doesn't mean either buy or be homeless, government owned complexes/developments can be a thing.)
I'm torn on the idea that this isn't going to stop, there is always going to be a selfish asshole that will buy as much as they can to make as much as they can off of other people, so if you have the opportunity to do it and be a good landlord, then why not? I get that they are generally shitty, and the concept absolutely fucking sucks, but we live within this "game" and it's going to be played by the worst actors, so why not benefit from it while still being a "good" landlord. Maybe to you that means cost +$50. Or cost +$100, whatever.
IDK, I don't even have enough money to buy my own house let alone become a landlord lol
I manage a family flat. The price is pretty much the half of the region + if the person doesn't own a car, the spot can be rented for 1/3 of the rent. Since I rented it, it has been passed down to friends. The other lady that rented it just told me if it was ok to let her friend live there, with a proper contract.
Being a good landlord isn’t profitable, because if you earn any profit off of exploiting a life necessity then you’re a parasite.
we have a few properties in the family, they're basically all paid off so we can charge less compared to the big companies who just accumulate more just to overcharge again.
i don't know the specifics, but we basically HAVE to take care of our rentors and their houses, or they can sue us.
the amount-of-owners/houses ratio seems to generally be higher in gerrmany as well.
(nothing of this is based on statistics, just on observations my dumbass made)
america continues to be a lawless wasteland.
