That's pretty tight.
Something I engage in? Like housing families? No guy, it’s childish. Anybody who doesn’t approve of landlords in general is just a child.I don't know you outside these forums, and I have no desire to debate the pros and cons of real-estate investment, but it's reductive in the extreme to imply that anyone who doesn't approve of something you engage in is a child that doesn't understand how the world works. There are a great many practices, institutions, and traditions in the world that I have a thorough understanding of that I find immoral and repugnant. Owning rental properties is admittedly pretty low on that list though...

You nailed it. He was bragging on here during covid how he wasn’t replacing something because the lady was mean
Somehow he manages to be on here 24/7. And has 11 4x4 and etc etc Let those things swell up. It might be 2 weeks maybe 3.
Maybe I should pretend to be poor to make you feel better about yourself? I talk about my life, my life involves properties, it's my business. If you were a fire fighter and talked about that I would have no problem, If you were a doctor and talked about that I would have no problem. If you were a trash collector and talked about that I would have no problem. I'm a middle aged man who's worked very hard my whole life, I have no shame in being successful and no desire to try to hide it to protect some poor stranger on the net who cries about evil landlords. Show me a guy bitching about a landlord and 9 out of 10 times I'll show you a bum.
2 weeks.
2 weeks.

You seem way to busy to be on a forum man. I’d be one angry tenant if I couldn get you to fix my sink because your ass was on roll it up complaining about being a a “good” landlord which don’t exist.
imo. Anyone who loans their property to complete strangers are half the problem.

Well I can't fill up 500 units with family. And I don't fix shit, we have maintenance men who do that. Sink is considered an emergency item and state requires it be repaired within 24 hours, so it gets repaired within 24 hours. I don't deal too much with the day to day management of the properties, we hire managers for that. I did have to help them out when they got crushed during the initial COVID panic, when all the white trash in America were told, "You don't have to pay, work, or be a responsible human being for the next year." Luckily most of my properties are commercial and the residential is mostly elderly with fixed incomes who were not losing income. But I do have a few family former RD properties that are a pain in the fcking ass. Would not have been worth it if I wasn't able to buy them for 1/5th their value. What do you do bo?
You may very well be a fair landlord, honest to god I just had to think of a reason to ask for more opinions. The thread died after one reply.
That being said, there is one question that I would ask you to determine if you are a fair landlord or shitty one. That is, if any of us were your renters, would we be allowed to grow marijuana? In canada tons of shitty landlords and rental companies put it in the rules that you can not grow marijuana, pretty scumbag if you ask me.

Just my opinion, i think Landlords fall into a similar niche as cops; although we definitely need them and they most certainly aren't all bad, yet still get that bad rap. Sorry you're getting shit on for that, I hope you're cool and i hope your tenants are, too.
I rent a warehouse to 100% growers but it depends on the property. It’s about the insurance and the laws. Any of the low income properties subsidized by federal money there is no choice, hard no. Condominiums have their own association and they make their own rules even though I may keep some units and commercial space, I don’t make the rules, owners do. So it’s not an easy answer. I sold my last single family home 3 years ago and they were growing, I didn’t care, but 95% of the residential units I have there is no growing or smoking. But again, people don’t get it. Insurance companies look at your house rules and if you don’t have the correct language your policy is going to be thousands of dollars higher. Should landlords have to pay more so their renters can grow? I avoid it as much as I can. We don’t go looking for grows if you know what I mean.
