I am 31M and decided to be child free.
I am not a millionaire, but I save around 75% of my monthly income. I often wonder what/who I am saving it for?
Every landlord is just whining that they love their apartment and don't want to take any risks and blah blah blah.
If you don't want to take any risk, why become a landlord? Why not just deposit your money in a high-interest bank account and stay safe forever?
If your goal is to get returns, why not invest in the stock market and take a real risk instead of exploiting tenants?
I live in major European cities with a big housing crisis. A lot of apartment owners invite a lot of people at the same time for the viewing.
I find it very disrespectful. We are spending so much time travelling while having a full-time job, and they don't even have 10 minutes to talk privately 1:1.
I hate this entitlement and zero disrespect for other people's time. We are paying them rent. They are not going to die if they work a little to earn it.
I feel they should be inviting the top 5-10 applicants 1:1 instead of inviting 100 and wasting everyone's time, and making them commute with 1% chance of getting an apartment.
If anyone suggests group viewing, I just tell them fuck no, but in nice words and remind them how disrespectful it is towards tenants.
