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.

because your landlord simply does not do all those things, I don’t believe you. your landlord hires someone to do those things.

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.

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.
