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.

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

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.
