I'm a landlord with a 60k a year job.  Wife and I just saved up for a decade to get another downplayment rather than using equity from our first house when we bought our next home.  We needed more space with the kids and outgrew the old one. 

We were both pell grant students and ate off EBTs as kids. We're just trying to be more financially stable for our kids than what we had. We charge the same amount in rent that we paid as renters in college. Just enough to cover expenses while the mortgage is paid off.  

After providing people a place to rent while in college and making sure they don't destroy the place we'll be rewarded with a house we will downsize back into after the kids move out.  

People act like being a landlord is evil and exploitative, but I don't see anything wrong with what we're doing. I know there are shitty landlords but we try to do good in our community.

There's nothing wrong with being a landlord. The issue is the government involvement. If the market supports more housing, and there are private companies willing to build more housing, then we should build more housing.

Karen and Bob weren't problematic until they started fucking with the housing market through local government.
