Maybe I’m stupid. Idk. I just don’t feel like this is for me. I mean insurance and taxes and escrow go up and I’d just feel too guilty about raising the prices because of that and it’s like if you don’t own a home you shouldn’t have to worry about those things but your landlord makes it your issue

And it’s like ok I get it could “help pay the mortgage” but why should someone else help me pay my mortgage? And it’s silly to expect they’ll stay there or I’ll always have someone there to help me pay it off. Why make that someone else’s responsibility too?

I know people are like “oh it’s trendy to hate landlords. Being a landlord isn’t so bad” like it just feels silly to make “an investment” and hope someone else pays for it and happily takes care of it as if they get any equity in return despite not getting equity in return.

You’re not way off. They were called sand n words for YEARS but a lot of people forget about that.
