  You bought it in the fucking 90’s when a bank loan required a high school degree and a firm handshake.

  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.
