First and foremost, renting sucks. I suggest you don't do it...makes me understand what Gen Z is experiencing.
Interesting situation I'm in. With sky high rent, I'm looking to move. Single, full time dad, currently in a 2 bedroom apartment that has doubled in price over the last 5 years. My employer and also a good friend of mine has pointed me in the direction of renting a "bungalow" IE, a tiny ass house from one of his "good friends/client" Sounds good, cuts my rent by 30%. I go to look at the "property" today and I'm absolutely not impressed. The tiny house is fine, but everything around it is what you'd expect to find in a modern left leaning city. The Walgreens around the corner is littered with bums and drug addicts, homeless walking around, etc, etc (Was a decent part of town 20 year ago) In my current place, I can let my kid roam free with the neighborhood kids. The "new" place is literally packed with landscaping trucks for an entire city block. It's located in an sketchy part of town with pockets of high end homes, and essentially slums. This "Property" is essentially in a slum. It's literally in what was once the backyard of a single wide trailer, on a street lined with trailer homes. This guy owns both properties adjacent left to the right of the tiny house I was thinking about renting. His main complaint is he can't find good renters that keep the property clean. Shocked he's catching carp... with carp bait.... I'm about to piss off my boss and his buddy. Thanks but no thanks. |

Yea, screw living in a crap part of town for 30% discount. The kids safety is more important than a few bucks.

Now you know why it's 30% less than your current rent.

"Slum lords" don't sleep as easy as the high class renters, like yourself, who usually think they know more than the landlord.
Even though the tenant is more knowledgeable, they're still renting. And the landlord is a scumbag. And nothing and no one is stopping your from being a landlord and showing everyone how it is done. Yeup.. |

So people who can only afford a certain amount of rent should have to live on the street because you think landlords should only offer property for rent in areas which meet with your approval?

Without knowing anything more I kinda feel for the property owner.
Seeing as how the US has been sliding/falling down even faster over the past 5 to 10 years I expect that he bought the house when it was an OK place to live. Now social decay has overtaken the neighborhood - so he's kinda locked in. He probably can't sell without a heavy loss and is hoping to cover the loan long enough to break even with the maintenance & repair costs that always eat away at any income he might see. I get that the OP is not interested in raising his kid there. I wouldn't do that to my kids either. But I don't see this being anybody's fault. |

Here, I'll give you a solution to your problem: go find a quad plex for sale in a location you want to live, buy it, rent out three units, and live in one. There, you have a place to live for free.
But you won't, because that's too much work and risk. Bitching on the Internet about landlords is a lot easier. |

I have a single rental 2br 1ba on 1 acre. It’s in the best school district in our parish/county. Nice finishes as my family lived in it before I converted it to a rental. All issues are addressed rather quickly and everything is documented. I wouldn’t consider myself a slum lord, but I’m also not charging the lowest rent in town either.
Sorry about your housing situation op but from the other perspective, houses are an expensive asset to loan out to someone in the hopes they will pay and not cause more damage than your profit can cover. I will not rent to just anyone and consider many factors, which has allowed me to avoid many issues landlords have. I know one day I will get bit though, so I don’t mess with rental rates when I have a good tenant occupying the house. I lease out a $180k house and earn about $3,000 profit which is taxed at about 30%. So I clear about $2500 annually. The real gain is getting the mortgage paid off which I will use to put my kids through college which is about the same time the house is paid off. It’s not all Champaign and caviar on my side. |

Call me whatever the fuck you want : slum lord, capitalist pig etc... You have no idea what you're talking OP. Me and my family worked our ass off building up what we had for over 30 years to have our fat ass liberal dumbfuck governor take my property away from me not able to "legally" boot out my POS tenants who decided covid gave them a free ticket away from rent. It took me two years and only god know how much money to an attorney to finally have them evicted. So guess what we got out of that shit business, but my friends who stayed in it who had similar problems, guess what rents triple and 3 months down and 2x the security deposit. Say whatever you want OP this is called entitlement, that's all I see in your post. Nothing but " oh poor me rent is so high I can't live in a nice neighborhood anymore and I deserve it"
The fuck you do, you only deserve what you can afford and what you can earn in a day. Fuck your entitlement, your just pissed off someone is able to own more than one house. Guess what: I drive a.used car, nothing special, I saved my money like strict ass budget for years. When I got my rental properties I was working two jobs: one regular job then every hour I was hanging drywall, fixing the plumbing, electricity, hanging new lights, new cabinets laying tile etc... Yes it was nothing for me to work basically 7 days a week till 2am then got to work at 05:30. But guess what no one handed me shit, I made the money I earned with my labor and a broken body to show for it, and I wouldn't change a fucking thing I did because now I ain't dependant on anyone!! And by the way I also sense in you a attitude of: I only get out of bed and work for $40 a.hour etc....... [Deleted]. Work for what you can make not what you think your.worth.

The guy is a "slum lord" because he's renting a decent house but the neighborhood is rough. You're unhappy that he offered you job. Buying a multifamily dwelling and renting a few units out is unacceptable because your grandparents were immigrants who worked hard.

Actually renting might is ideal for someone like me.
I was a homeowner for over 50 years and the cost of maintaining a home is outrageous in both money spent and time used. For examples: If you mow your lawn then you need a place to store your mower like a mini barn. Then you need gas cans, oil cans, tools for maintenance, etc. Then there are the tools needed for home maintenance, some not so small like extension ladders, and the storage of them. The more shit that you own the more shit that you need to care for what you own. It is an ever-increasing dilemma. It is easier for me to wire money monthly to my condo landlord then deal with all the headaches. Plus renting gives me the flexibility to just pack up and move to a different location on a whim. |

I have a three bedroom full basement house on 5 acres in the country I'm renting to a very nice family with two kids. He is a policeman, wife works in a bank. I spent $20k remodeling it and since they moved in have paid for a dishwasher and new hot water heater. The property has a black walnut grove and blueberry farm. I take care of the grounds and grass cutting. This is 15 miles from Huntsville Al which is rated as a top place in the US to live. The rent amount is $800 a month. I sleep fine.
