    Yeah ok. Wanna buy it?

    I’m a villain am I? I fucking worked my ass off to buy that property, then I let people live in it who more often than not leave me with bills and unpaid rent, and I’m the villain?

    Fuck you.

        You bought it in the fucking 90’s when a bank loan required a high school degree and a firm handshake.

        You fell just short of calling me a boomer. I’m almost disappointed…

        If you think everything was so easy in the 90’s - especially for a college student working 3 jobs to afford that place - then believe what you will. I suppose that bizarre myth is part of the lore of people who weren’t even born back then and blame all the ills they suffer from today on the previous generations. I know, I did the same to my parents.

        And yes, my property is now worth 5x what it was worth when I bought it… in today’s money. Adjusted for inflation, it’s not nearly as much. Still, it was an investment: do you understand what an investment is?

          Are you under the impression that the US dollar has 5xd from inflation since the 90s? Lol

          Seriously, I don’t know what reaction you’re expecting here - if you’re finding that being a landlord is a shitty way to make money, then… Stop? Sell the apartment and invest in something else instead of whining about how badly landlords are mistreated lol

          The irony of your username notwithstanding, you can just sell your place. Being a landlord is an inefficient sucker’s bid to make money for the past 25 years at least.
