Speaking of leeches, not only did my tenant immediately stop paying rent after the first few months and I had to illegally evict them, which has all sorts of cost involved with it, they also sued my property management company for a fake slip and fall and also set up cable TV in the previous tenant’s name racking up about $600. And even when they were paying rent - after property management fees, mortgage and upkeep, I was still at a loss. Landlord isn’t nearly as profitable as some people think. And that’s just the top of the iceberg that has become even more frequent when it comes to tenant scammers. The big one right now is using AI to falsify their application (fake jobs, incomes, etc)

Stuff like this is unironically (okay, kind of ironically) why I identify as a landchad.

I am aware of that, still doesnt stop people from speculation and therefor preventing others from buying.

If you’re talking about the corporate landlords, yeah. But the real issue is we’re not creating enough housing of the correct type in the US (like missing middle). Only choices are either McMansions or “luxury” apartments that are made from cardboard.
