"Small" is a word indicating that quantitatively relative to other things, it is less, i.e. Very Small < Small < Medium < Large < Very Large. According to [1] (Doorloop, 2026), Greystar manages 823,581 units as the…
This is such binary thinking. People have different ways of interacting with people. Some people are easier to deal with than others, and that was the parents' point, not that they never want to respond to reasonable…
Repair costs are hugely jagged: Sometimes you have a few months with no repair, and then a huge sewer/roof/electrical repair, so rents need to account for that. > I also never said they shouldn’t make money - they…
No. There is no insurance in the world that covers the cost of eviction, loss of rents, or intentional damage/vandalism. Throwing around general statements like these when you don't actually know about the topic doesn't…
> If everyone did that then how’s the person with a new job able to get a home? That's exactly my point. If the regulations weren't so insane and burdensome (see other posters' points on not being able to evict promptly…
> It's also ok if people lose money on investments. The more likely it is for landlords to lose money on the housing provided, the more rents will go up to account for that risk premium. It's no different than…

I didn't invoke a "mon and pop situation renting out a spare unit" idea, that's your own that you're projecting on my comment. I did say that they are a small landlord, and I stand by it given that a large landlord is…
Totally wrong. A home has a lot of expenses beyond taxes, especially maintenance/upkeep. If the landlord just breaks even, where does the money to repair the roof come from? Also, providing housing is a service that…
And how exactly do you "force" the deadbeat broke tenant that trashed your house to return it to its original condition?
Your experience as a renter is not the same as the experience of a landlord. If you've been on your first job for a month and you pinky swear to pay rent on time and the next candidate has been on their job for 3 years…
Are you also wanting a company to have to hire the first qualifying candidate and immediately stop all hiring? That is nonsensical. A landlord and a tenant should be free to contract as both parties wish.
I'm sure OP meant 6 houses with several units in it each, not 7-11 people per house. Otherwise the distinction between house and unit doesn't make sense. This is a small time landlord. Large landlords have easily over…
