    Is landlord a “job” where you live?

    I think every single person I know who owns a house/flat and rents to someone has of course a regular job where he works at. Wouldn’t be financially viable in any form otherwise (and it shouldn’t be).

      There are some people who own a bunch of properties and their job is maintaining them and dealing with the paperwork. And then there are some people who passively collect income and have a management company do that with no real connection to the place…

        They are basically investors in the housing market when their money makes its own money without their direct involvement.
