Landlord doesn't own shit but a piece of paper saying they have some level of authority for what's on top of the land there.
The value of this asset goes up over time
why do you think? it's just a magical always-increasing asset like some kind of perpetual motion machine?
Yeah it's brainless it's just gambling with more steps. One recession and you're fricked. Property values don't always go up. You're gambling on that shit won't hit the fan during your term, and you won't have to liquidate because people can't pay rent anymore and you don't have enough in reserve to ride it out. Puts nothing into the community, instead of creating something and being rewarded from that profit it's just charge others who can't afford to buy a house and skim the margin from that. Absolutely braindead lazy.
But that's not enough to back what I said. The only ones winning are the banks. Shit hits the fan and you can't pay the house off? lmfao, you might get back what's left on the loan and you lose what you have paid thus far, and you lose the house. Bank made the interest from loaning to you, and the house that you paid with that loan, they get that too.
Not only is it a braindead non contributing "profession" but it's also a good way to gamble against the next 30 years of the economy.
@89wc if a landlord "doesn't own shit" then why don't you see what happens if you stop paying your rent?

Can't tell if this is a troll or a commie with a very childlike view of how real estate works. Apparently being a landlord is just an infinite free money machine while residential buildings have no costs associated with them like maintenance, building depreciation, and taxes. Also real estate investment and development is just gambling, despite there being numerous entities who have become rich and powerful based off it by consistently speculating and investing correctly.
Unprofitable shitblocks run by the government have existed for decades all around the world. They suck and people hate to live in them, to the point where some see being homeless as a preferable alternative. Being a do-nothing landlord of low value shitblocks and section 8 housing is something only Jews, Pahjeets, and Chinx make work because the margins on them are so slim you have to pinch pennies to get anything out of them.
