2. Landlords take on risks you don’t want to. Owning property isn’t easy! mortgages, maintenance, legal compliance, tenant issues, and being on call 24/7 for emergencies. If you think it’s just about collecting checks, you don’t understand the game. It requires time, effort and specialized knowledge. LOTS OF RESPONSIBILITIES

Being a landlord means providing a valuable service, much like hotels offering temporary stays or car rentals providing short-term transportation. Landlords provide housing for those who aren’t ready or able to buy or who value the flexibility of renting. This service includes offering a place to live while managing responsibilities like maintenance, repairs, and compliance with regulations—fulfilling a critical role in meeting diverse housing needs.
