Correct. I’m paying him to take care of everything so I don’t have to do it. Lawn. Plumbing. Damages. That’s all one person for me. I’m paying that one person to take care of all of those things so I don’t have to. And the price never changes.
Lawn. Plumbing. Damages. That’s all one person for me. I’m paying that one person to take care of all of those things so I don’t have to.
No, you’re paying that person to then pay other people to take care of those things. If you tell me your landlord handles the lawn, plumbing, all repairs, etc, I’ll just call you a liar.
What. Why would you call me a lier lol. My landlord handles all of that. That’s why I’m renting. That is the reason to rent. Otherwise I’d own a home and have to do all of that myself.
I don’t want to deal with hiring anyone to do anything. I pay my landlord to do all of that.
Yes, I’ve already said that. That’s why I’m paying him every month.
If my pipes break tomorrow I call him and he takes care of it. Someone comes and fixes it that day or the next. If I owned the place I wouldn’t be able to get it fixed until next month.
I think you and I have very different financial situations if you’re having a hard time understanding this.
Don’t call me a lier again. You don’t even know me.
If my pipes break tomorrow I call him and he takes care of it. Someone comes and fixes it that day or the next.
Right, he paid for that plumber with money from your rent in excess of the cost of the mortgage. If you didn’t have to pay that excess cost you could have paid the plumber yourself.
The only service he’s providing here is scheduling an appointment with a plumber who is the one actually fixing the pipes, not the landlord.
He’s also trying to make a profit so the rent minus cost of mortgage and minus cost of repairs that he covers is almost still a positive number so that he is actually making money on this.
Again I want to stress, the service he’s providing is paying other people to do things for you with money that you gave him.
as someone for whom setting appointments is a significant part of their job, and for whom that job pays jack shit like most all service positions, i wish my bosses shared this person’s concept of the value of appointment setting. I’d be ready to call it a year by 8am.
If I owned the place I wouldn’t be able to get it fixed until next month.
What? How does your landlord do it? Because you would just do that, and then you wouldn’t have a parasitic third party leeching off your income. You would have the exact same service and more money to spare.
you would still just be calling someone to take care of it, it would just be directly and not through a middle man who charges you for the privilege of paying his mortgage
Dude. Stop.
You might be able to pay for emergencys. I cannot.
I’m done talking to you about this. Stop replying to every comment I’ve made with the same ignorant comments please.
I never insulted you. If you actually read the things I’ve said, I’m only saying that landlords are leechs and provide nothing of value.
I’m in the same position as you and have to rent from a landlord, except my experience has taught me that they should not exist and brought me into solidarity with others who are exploited by the ownership class. It has not led me to defend my oppressor.
good things happen when we get rid of our oppressors

See what I mean?

because your landlord simply does not do all those things, I don’t believe you. your landlord hires someone to do those things.
Yes, I’ve already said that. That’s why I’m paying him every month.

If you want to buy a house for me go right ahead. I’ll gladly only pay my own mortgage after that.
First I have to buy food though. Let me know when you’re going to forward the 100k. I have PayPal, Venmo and banking accounts.
But he’s charging you more than what all those things cost combined

We’re cool. But please just don’t be ignorant.

They don’t realize that, they think we’re being ignorant for pointing it out
Anytime you want to give me 100+k to buy a house, you know where to find me.
I wish i did.

Grow up
Stop using the word ignorant to mean telling you things that are true and that add information to the discussion.
Would you rather pay $10 for a sandwich or $20 for a guy to buy the sandwich for you?
