Do you have an alarm that goes off every 3-4 weeks reminding you to make a thread on how much you hate landlords?

A buddy of mine was a landlord for a while. It sucks unless you're wealthy enough to hire someone to handle all the bullshit that comes with the job.

Lmao yall are so salty. All I did was recognize that owning property =/= having a job and it was enough to send all yall into a tizzy. Maybe it should tell you something that you had this reaction.

Exactly. Boy howdy this labor thing sure is tough when I cant just tell other people to do it for me.

No, just the bullshit. Mowing lawns, repairs, etc, that's all expected. Unless you're renting upscale places, you'll have insane tenants who aren't worth the rent they're paying in pain in the ass.

Its a tough job to upkeep and provide a place for those who are not financially ready for owning an actual home.

Just imagine the amount of losers that you might have to deal with as tenants over the years.

So if I just give you money then that's a job? It =

  • money stuff
  • a transaction of thing
  • services exchanged (doing nothing)

Ok, so now you have that $10,000. What can you spend it on that was not created by other people exerting physical effort?

What landlord mows the lawn? Hell, it's rare that a landlord will do repairs in a timely manner or at all.

Mowing the lawn, repairs, etc. that is all labor that obviously should be compensated. But rent far exceeds the cost of upkeep.

Thanks for the clarification. Insane renters is a pretty nebulous concept, though. Are all renters insane? What percentage of them? Why is landlording so popular if the bullshit is such a strain on ones psyche?

Nothing wrong with owning property and charging people for the privilege of utilizing it.

Nothing wrong with finding ways to gain a passive income beyond the actual labor you do.

Edit: Oh, and clean your room.

I dont think you understand what is happening here. If you are making passive income it is you making money. No one said anything about you paying someone.

It's an investment that occasionally involves fixing up a house or hiring someone to fix it up.

Paying rent to your landlord isn't you working for them, it is you paying for goods and services. May as well say that you're working for the restaurant owner when you go out to eat and buy a pizza.

The people the landlord pays would be gardeners, repair workers, etc. The people working for him.

Uhhh... Not really.

my friend has a gaming YouTube channel that hes been uploading to for like 10 years He has passive income from the ad revenue because people are still watching his videos years later He said hes able to pay for his gas for life now because YouTube is still sending him checks.

Passive income just means money that you receive for your work that you did that still pays you today.

Yeah, that is another example.

Passive income could be rent, stock dividends, royalties, ad revenue, etc.

You specifically?

Probably your parents.

But more generally, paying rent isn't anymore "working for" your landlord than paying for groceries or video games is "working for" Kroger or Nintendo.

My parents are dead and I own my house. Ive been speaking in hypothetical terms the I referring to an imagined renter for the purposes of discussion, but you know that and are only resorting to baseless ad hominem because you feel your stance on the issue crumbling.

Ill side with TC to play devils advocate for a second..

If being a landlord was a job, then hiring a property management company doesnt really make sense... Lets say I get a job... Can I hire someone else to do it and then just stay at home doing nothing to collect a paycheck every 2 weeks?

(insert snarky comment about being upper management or something like that)

But really... Thats like complaining that investing isnt really a job... Tesla stocks made me $10,000 in December... Im not saying its a job, but I definitely capitalized on an opportunity and made a profit.

So... Long story short, you dont need a job if you make smart decisions... Investments can lose you money and so can being a land lord.... They arent really jobs.
Is owning a business a job
