Being a landlord is a self-employed job. People don’t advertise for self-employed jobs. They do those jobs themselves!
Sounds like you’re the one with the ignorance on the topic.
Being a landlord IS a job. Being a landlord involves work, and work is a job. This is very simple.
“Landlording” is a word. It’s the act of performing the work of a landlord.
Anyone can pay someone else to do work. But the act of hiring others and making sure they’re doing their job is still work.
The majority of landlords are known as “mom and pop” which means they only have a few rentals. Many small landlords don’t hire a large team because there’s not enough money coming in from the rental to do so.
Simmaraly
You meant “Similarly” (like “similar” but with an “ly” at the end).
Being a landlord is in fact, work.
Simply owning a property is called being a real estate investor. You can invest in property without even setting foot in it.
But maintaining it, interacting with tenants, etc is all work and that’s what a landlord does. As such, people should get paid for their work.
The only people who want something for doing no work is landlords and shareholders.
You are incorrect about that. Landlords absolutely do work.
Not everyone who is a landlord is born into wealth. Someone born into poverty can also be a landlord.
By your logic, grocery stores are the same. They don’t grow the food. They don’t invent new food. There’s nothing wrong with grocery stores either.
The main reason landlords are hated is jealousy. People hate those who have something they don’t. Especially when landlords worked for what they have and the ones who are jealous didn’t – they want to be handed things for free without contributing. Look at the old parable of the ant and the grasshopper.
What a horrible take, encouraging theft. For shame.
If you’re looking for a representation of America, it’s basically violence and apathy.
Back in time if you’re gay? Or trans? Or a woman? Or a person of color?
No thanks.
That’s a pretty narrow minded and incorrect view of the police.
Everything went up for everyone. Insurance, property taxes, contractor labor, materials, utilities, etc.
I have never heard it described that way. It’s the last warm weather of the year before winter. It was something to look forward to.
You sound just like someone from Nazi Germany.
You get down votes on Reddit or Lemmy when you go against the hive mind. Heaven forbid you try to have a rational discussion with a different opinion.
It’s like art, you know it when you see it.
It doesn’t make money to produce a product that kills your customer base quickly. Killing them slowly is what the cigarette industry does. Get the customer to purchase over and over again.
Buy medical debt. You can clear someone’s $150,000 debt for like $200.
How do you do this?
My parents didn’t give me money to buy a house.
