Not really. Everyone on earth strives for 1 single thing: to not have to worry about money or getting up for work tomorrow. You did it, you win, now you can enjoy life however you want to. A privilege over 90% of us will never get close to reaching?

I guess but first they strive to not have to worry about money or getting up for work tomorrow like I said. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Fact is if it wasn't for the dream to have money or not have to go into work tomorrow a lot of the things we have would have never been created. That's why we made up a system where pieces of paper govern the value of life, to drive forward progress and desiccate conformism.

Depends on how you go about doing it. Safest bet would be to buy 4 250k homes and rent them out for example. You can charge 2k a month for rent for each home and have $8,000 a month to spend on whatever the fuck you wanted to for life. Make a few repairs here and there, maybe kick some shitty renters out a few times but other than that you'd be golden.

Property manager here.

Renting out is not profitable for the vast majority of people. It becomes profitable when you are a huge property management conglomerate with 100+ tenants. Otherwise one or two squatters, dog people, or crackheads can easily lose you 100% of your original investment.

Predatory renters exist and absolutely target small-town buy-and-rent-out folk, because they can't afford the lawyers for a protracted landlord-tenant dispute and/or won't risk evicting tenants period because they only have 2-4 units to rent and that's 1/2-1/4 of their income.

Which is why you screen them out first and kick the ones that get past screening ASAP. It's not like you wouldn't check the property every bow and then. Putting annual contracts and inspections, and fees for damaged property (walls, doors, windows, ect) is a minimum for renting property right?

>Predatory renters exist and absolutely target small-town buy-and-rent-out folk, because they can't afford the lawyers for a protracted landlord-tenant dispute
OP says he has millions, I'm sure he has enough coin for the lawyers. Even if he didn't and all he had was 1 million (to which say he invested in the homes) he could always take out loans if he couldn't fucking save enough money over 2-3 months from his 8k income.

>and/or won't risk evicting tenants period because they only have 2-4 units to rent and that's 1/2-1/4 of their income.

just to be clear it is never this easy

you can screen a tenant, but cannot predict if they are a stand-in for someone else in order to pass screening. They can hand the key to anyone, that person can squat, and squatters rights apply. I have seen this happen in many NYC apartments.

>It's not like you wouldn't check the property every bow and then. Putting annual contracts and inspections, and fees for damaged property (walls, doors, windows, ect) is a minimum for renting property right?
generally this is illegal. The landlord cannot enter the property without the tenant's permission or giving notice, unless it is an emergency threatening life. Otherwise they get sued by the crackheads. I have seen this happen in many NYC apartments.

The ACTUAL approach to this kind of problem is a security deposit. But security deposits never cover the entire cost of a property or the sheer volume of damage a predatory renter could do. They are usually equal to one month's rent or 10015% of annual rent which is nowhere near enough to pay for repairing structure, walls, etc.

Just a story. I once personally worked with a tenant who passed every background and credit check 100%. Seemed like a very nice young professional woman. Two weeks later, she'd vanished off the face of the earth along with ALL OF THE APPLIANCES AND COPPER PIPING from her rental. Literally torn out of the walls for scrap. The rest of the place was gutted like you wouldn't believe. This woman was like 4 foot tall...to this day I have no clue how she did it.

you would not believe. It is basically impossible to have a tenant evicted without at least 6 months of court fuckery.

I have never worked in property management anywhere else but hear most big cities are the same. Rural and suburban places better thanks to streamlined legal networks but the law ALWAYS tends to favor tenants over landlords.

This is just high demand, and recent changes in how brokerage worked. I am not a broker but a property manager, however I have worked with many brokers.

Used to be, tenant pays a "brokers fee" when searching for an apartment. Just like you pay a realtor when buying a house. But recently with millennial and new housing trends, people think it is normal to have a "no-fee" apartment. To get the service of a realtor and broker for essentially nothing. And they refuse to even consider apartments with a fee.

Because of this, shady brokers dominate the market for this type of renter. They use tricks like increasing the rent on ads, then calculating out the cost of a brokers' fee and taking it off the top. Usually the tenants arren't even told about this, they just think they're getting a good deal where in reality they're paying $250/month more for their entire residence there instead of a few thousand upfront. An honest broker cannot compete and so many have gone out of business.

Skip forward 5 years, now you have a city where ~1 in every 15 units is uninhabited, but we don't have the employed brokers around to move the units because their entire source of income has vanished.
>>
>>54698206
>Why are your apartments filled with appliances?
Hi anon,

Most apartments come with oven, dishwasher, laundry machines. Sometimes microwave.

This particular unit had communal laundry machines in the basement. 4 washer and 4 dryer. Fucking pixie woman stole all 8 machines, torn from wall including piping and electrical. Machines worth more than an entire year's rent paid in a unit.

That's because everywhere else in America the property owner, not the renter pays the brokers fee.
Usually it's about whatever first months rent is for the property.

They have the reverse problem of getting spammed with bad tenants by brokers who just want a commission.

NewYork sounds like opposite land.

It means, if someone is in a residence, you cannot remove them with force. You can sometimes get legal permission to break in, remove their stuff, change locks -- but only if they leave the rental on their own first. Not while they're inside, or their friend is inside squatting or them.

Essentially it comes down to, by forcefully removing you are endangering their life. I have some agreements with the law this way but it is very exploitable. You also cannot cut the power or water or heat usually, for the same reason.

So the way you fix this is go to court and get a court order. This takes months, months that you will not be receiving any rent. You are also essentially ensuring they will destroy the place on their way out, causing as much damage as possible because you are the "bad guy" for making them pay rent and fighting back when they don't.

I have only a suspicion.

In new york, you see a lot of people doing strange things. Obviously the machines must be changed sometime and if you have enough charisma and good enough at lying, you can get anyone to just keep walking.

I once saw two people, literally cutting ATM out of a brick wall next to a bodega (convenience store), using circular saw. Like a robbery from cartoons. Stood there for a second, lots of other people walking by. Finally the guy notice me and says "oh, it's ok, we work for the ATM company." They had credentials in their truck but were not wearing uniforms or anything.

Everyone else on the street didn't even bother stopping to look or ask. Certainly didn't check his credentials.

Op as a fellow anon that made it "rich" 2 years ago my only advice is to not live rich. I'm not saying don't buy a nice fancy house and car etc etc etc. I'm just saying don't spend it like a rich person would you know? Expensive meals, useless stuff and the rest. I made nearly 20 million off an idea I pitched to a certain engineering company, and I'm surprised my idea was valued as such. At first I didn't know how to feel, like is this even happening. For that whole month I didn't know what to do, I pretty much made it. I continued to work with them for another year even though I didn't have to. In the first year I spent a million on a house, car and furniture. The following year I spent another million investing in housing buildings and other things and now I'm not working anymore. The only work I do is watching over the few assets I have(makes me feel like a mob boss don't judge me). Now, I never told my family that I became a millionaire because I didn't want them to treat me any differently from before. Obviously they were a bit confused on how I could afford such a house and car(2015 maxima btw) in such a small amount of time. I just gave a bs foreclosure auction excuse and that there was a promotion at work. So far, I'm glad they don't look at me any differently. They still think I work at the old place and everything is the same. I join them for dinner every Sunday and everything is still the same.I really don't want to tell them for that reason alone. I still live my life the same way I always have, nothing changed at all. Not my clothing choices, my spending habits nor has my character changed.
The rest of the 17 million I don't touch really. I buy some groceries, pay bills etc etc. I still eat at the same restaurants, I still take the subway like your normal new yorker.. You get the idea.
Point is, give yourself purpose and try not to change into something you're not. I grew up poor in NYC, I know how it is to strive for money. I still act like poor lol
