Solid Snake07 03/16/20 10:31:26 AM #15:	Pretty dumb take. Properties require maintenance, something you should be setting aside for out of every months rental payment. Besides, a rental property is an investment, and you're getting a pretty dog shit return, if anything, by just paying the mortgage every month. That said, if the property is being rented at market value and your landlord is only barely covering the mortgage they fucked up. Why are you even discussing this with them? --- "People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time" -Detective Rust Cohle <cite>Solid Snake07 posted [p:935746629] in Landlord: ...

gunplagirl 03/16/20 11:06:38 AM #40:	PCgamingIS_Best posted... Dunno why people who rent property to others are considered to be so bad... They go out buy 5 houses off the marketplace that they don't need, denying people who'd want to buy a house those as options. Then they get them paid for by their tenants while putting in the bare minimum maintenance they'd have had to handle had they intended to use the property to begin with. As for the guy who said renting is cheaper than buying, there's this really old excerpt from a book about shoes. A rich person can pay $40 for a nice pair of shoes that'll last for years and keep their feet nice and dry. A poor person will pay $10 for shoes that last a season, and in the end his feet still end up wet. Or else, for a comparison more modern. You can buy some roller skates, or over time you can pay way more than that to rent them. In the end you'll still never actually own them. --- tfw no big tiddy goth vampire gf who lactates blood - viewmaster_pi <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:935747800] in Landlord: ...
