Landlord
Not a job
It's like calling shareholder a job.
Its a crime imao
But their money is at risk! 😱
I don't know why people are so insistent it's not a job rather than arguing that it's a bad job, etc. Small landlords almost certainly put a lot of time into maintaining the property, handling occupancy, reporting income, etc. How is it any less a job than renting out bouncy houses. Sure some landlords might outsource all this, in which case it's more akin to holding interest bearing assets, but for a small landlord it almost certainly is a job under any definition of the word.
Small landlords put in a lot of time?
How much would you say? My job takes 37 hours a week.
Is a job a job only if it takes a certain amount of hours a week? dumb comment tbh
But to answer the question my friend who owns 2 properties spends probably anywhere from 10-30 hours a week. He mows the grass, takes trash to the dump, makes repairs himself, etc.
Pull the other one mate.
If a landlord is providing services like mowing the lawn and taking rubbish out etc, you can damn well guarantee that they're charging extra for those services.
You honestly believe a landlord spends 15 hours per week maintaining a property? At that point, you'd be exceeding by far your tenants right to a reasonable expectation of privacy, so are you really that gullible or are you just on some really good shit? You've clearly never rented a property yourself.
He does not charge extra for those services. Idk what you are on about, I know for a fact maintaining his property takes a decent amount of work. I don't respect some internet nobody telling me that isn't true lol. 15 hours is not that much time.
