No landlords. No rentals. Sounds like a plan.

Here’s your issue. “All those homes” it’s 1 house. I work full time and literally drive for Uber on the weekends to save up enough for a down payment. What you don’t get is that once that house is sold and off the market it is one less house for people to rent and they will be forced to turn towards a giant corporate entity to rent which is always more expensive and less accommodating. Have fun renting from “insert giant corporation here” that will jack rates further and trash the market further because they can afford it. Most landlords only own one property outside of their primary home. It’s this mentality that lets companies like wal-mart destroy towns and run mom and pop businesses out. Wall Street becomes their landlord and they don’t give a crap about the renters.

You obviously don’t know how renters insurance works and are very ignorant of the full expenses that landlords take on. When you have a government that favors the renter so heavily there is no incentive to to be a landlord anymore. I’m getting out of the business myself due to this fact. You also have no pride of ownership of a property or understand the work that goes into that with a system that mid lease the terms change due to government over reach. Count on seeing far less private ownership of properties and far more of this going towards huge corporate entities. What the government has done during the Covid period has made being a small, private landlord no longer a logical move.

You’ll never get it. Save your cash and find a fixer upper. You work your butt off and have someone destroy it. But it’s ok because… screw those people right? Insurance doesn’t cover anywhere near what you assume it does.

Making a lot of assumptions on the wealth of land lords. Some are just working people who saved for a decade to buy an investment property.

Horrendously. I own a property in downtown KC. Haven’t gotten a rent payment since April of 2020. I still have to pay the mortgage and insurance on the property. I finally just got them out and in their anger they busted a faucet leading to over $100k in damages.
