Well the whole system is corrupt and it’s not your fault because you didn’t make the system, all you can do to relieve yourself of being a villain in the real estate industry is to get out of the real estate industry. Sell that apartment to someone who needs to live in it.

“Being a villian” lmao. It totally wasn’t the guy who trashed the place, or the government for stupid laws. It was the guy renting out the apartment. Because as we all know, the alternative is that the guy would give the apartment to you for free instead of renting, right? With no strings attached, everybody would get a house if only landlords weren’t villians!

  Give it away? No I suggested he SELL it to escape from all the corruption.

    Sell it, let their money be eaten by inflation in two years. Just because a rando on the internet calls them evil for renting out a house, because they themselves hate their landlord.

Yeah ok. Wanna buy it?

I’m a villain am I? I fucking worked my ass off to buy that property, then I let people live in it that more often than not leave me with bills and unpaid rent, and I’m the villain?

Fuck you.

  You bought it in the fucking 90’s when a bank loan required a high school degree and a firm handshake. Yea, I’m so sure you “worked your ass off” and your property value hasn’t increased by 10x since then.

    You fell just short of calling me a boomer. I’m almost disappointed…
    
    If you think everything was so easy in the 90’s - especially for a college student working 3 jobs to afford that place - then believe what you will. I suppose that bizarre myth is part of the lore of people who weren’t even born back then and blame all the ills they suffer from today on the previous generations. I know, I did the same to my parents.
    
    And yes, my property is now worth 5x what it was worth when I bought it… in today’s money. Adjusted for inflation, it’s not nearly as much. Still, it was an investment: do you understand what an investment is?

    The irony of your username notwithstanding, you can just sell your place. Being a landlord is an inefficient sucker’s bid to make money for the past 25 years at least.
