i get that everyone on here is supposed to hate all landlords because they are profiting from owning an asset that they are no longer working to buy (they had to come up with the money – i seriously doubt most landlords are trust fund babies) or spending much money to maintain. does that same opinion carry over to stocks as well? i work to buy stocks because i'm hoping they increase in value but i'm not doing any of the labor that helps drive the stock price up. i don't see a difference in the reason why people hate landlords and how our stock market works.
