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.
You already own real estate, why exploit people with it when you can just live in it and stop renting?
Location, location, location.
If only it were that easy my friend.
Let me guess: you own real estate in neighborhoods you wouldn't want to live in in hopes of extracting enough capital from your tenants so that you can buy your own home in a neighborhood you do want to live in.
You're exploiting people poorer than you so that you can become richer.
You're not one of the good ones...
That's quite a lot of assumptions. And they're all incorrect.
