Maybe landlords should have planned better and had reserves so they could pay their bills in case their tenants couldn't.

It for sure should be, but to what degree is predicated on how seriously people will take covid two months from now, which I don't have a lot of confidence in.

wait till some of you get to own a home and find out the costs of maintaining it. and then figure out the cost of maintaining something that someone rents. most landlords do not make bundles off the rents they make it down the road on property appreciation which renters choose not to partake in.

and you are complaining about your expenses(that renters cover) on your investment that makes you passive income while it appreciates, maybe as much as 10x

sorry to derail. this is a sore spot for me

I predict people will not be sympathetic to the plight of the landlord.

Not when they act like renters are supposed to have more savings than landlords do.

That’s the point, Ray. We don’t make bundles either. We’re all on the same losing team, here. It’s annoying that you believe otherwise.

I fought with my own roommates over this exact issue. I said when covid started there is no ****ing way we are paying the full rent when 2 out of the 3 of us lost our jobs. They are pussies and were afraid shed kick us out but I knew covid would be this way and shed have no recourse. I told her to cut us slack and she said "I have bills too, either the rent is paid in full or you're out on the first". Lousy ****

Edit to say if she would have attempted to work with us in some way, showing some compassion I would have understood. But the callousness sent me over the edge

Be nice, ray z

Ray the audience here has no sympathy for the guy who bought a four family with his summer paper route money in 1968

All investments have risk.

This is a risk you chose to partake in.

my point was landlords dont have it as an easy way to make money. and most anyone can own a house with the programs if they are willing to do the work and live where they can afford to. life is a personal choice.
i have helped some of my renters own a house by getting in with no money or little down payment. i bought my first house with a govt loan and 2000 down. rented it for a few years and sold it to the renter. they still own it and it is worth 15 times what they paid for it and paid it off instead of making rent payments.
now back to the horrible virus.

i think some vaccines are coming in the pipeline sooner than later for at least the high risk people. so that if it happens will drastically cut the death rate. which also means most others wont have restrictions that are too harsh. my guess January.

Was it hard taking a loss on this?

On the Landlords AND the renters side here. Temporary UBI should have been solving this problem since March.

Maybe they should have just given the 2 grand a month to those working as well so people wouldnt ***** about people being lazy and refusing to work at McDonald's with a bachelors degree
