I got up at 4:00 this morning and spent 10 hours working for the postal service, my wifes a highschool teacher. We are shopping for a modest family home and plan to keep the starter unit we bought 10 years ago and rent it.
All of a sudden I dont work for my money any more? I’m part of the elite upper crust of society? No, Im just trying to do what nobody in my family line has ever done which is make sure their kids arent starting at broke.
You’ve also taken that starter home off the market, preventing someone else from being able to own a home and follow your path to ownership of a forever-property.
If it’s not unethical at one rental property, when is it? Two? Three? Five?
No argument, but there does need to be a certain rental market density. Not everyone wants to own, thats why we bought an easy to maintain unit near a university. Air BNB, holiday homes and “property parking” are the ones taking things out of circulation.
Answer me this. Why should I take on the moral burden of the ethics and not a property group that owns literally hundreds of properties? Thats what I’m saying, these “landlord” memes seem to be trying to make me making a good choice as one family unit a despicable act in the eyes of “working people” when the people with real money and real power who have no shame and dont care just sieze the opportunity if I dont.
If you’re a landlord you’re not working class by any definition.
Bullshit.

In Europe, maybe yes this would make sense.
But in the US? Not a chance, there’s so much space you’re not taking anything from anyone.

you’re doing less of the same thing the huge property groups are doing, but you’re still doing it
