    Renting out SUCKS. Especially on a small scale. Renting out your house or condo is just headaches for a return on investment you probably could have matched with the market and not have to go through the lottery of asshole tenants.

    Renting starts making sense once you’ve got 6+ units, then you can actually make a living, but until then it’s just not worth it IMO

    Some people will disagree, but those people are the kind of people that “love the grind” or whether, I just think life is too short for that kind of fuckery.

    We have friends that rent out and it feels like they are constantly on edge. Always on call for some bullshit. Every vacation they have to be ready to take calls and deal with shit.

      Well it’s still better than wage life but nowhere close to true richness

      It’s like a poc slave overseer from django. Still fucked in the ass by true rich but also hated by lower class.
      For those too dumb to climb the wealth ladder with their substantial starting position

        I feel like renting / Airbnb is just the rich class selling the homeowner class a pipe dream that they will get rich like them if they juts grind and rent their homes.

        It’s all bullshit scams all the way down.

          Also I didn’t mean someone who rents just one apartment but like four for example and isn’t employed to be clear. That kind of landoid
