Man there's so much indiscriminate hate in here. I rent out an apartment to some tenants, and I rent myself, elsewhere. So I'm both a landlord and a tenant.
The rent I receive doesn't even cover the cost of the apartment. I'm losing money on it every year. So I'm subsidising someone's housing.
So why all the hate?
I like moving around so I'm not going sell and buy every couple of years.
What if I rent to family members under market value?
I think you'd need to be renting it as a non-profit to not count. Under market value means you're still making money for basically nothing right?
I am a reluctant landlord. If I had my way, I wouldn't have any properties other people lived in, but alas there are other factors at play. I'm a renter myself, and hope to buy a house soon, but the properties that my family has dog me still.
