idk maybe it's bc growing up i've always had family that has rental properties, but to me there's a difference between a landlord that's just some guy and real estate companies owned by millionaire investors

like it is without argument a huge privilege to actually own property, but like a working class family renting out their basement isn't bad to me

#personal #also i grew up surrounded by undocumented immigrants #so like idk it was just normal to rent out a room unofficially #also funny story the first house we bought had an unfinished basement #so my mom and her boyfriend finished it themselves and made a complete house unit #however since it didn't have the required permits and inspections it could not be legally rented out #so what we did is move into the basement and rented out the actual house upstairs lol
