Most landlords own less than two properties as noted here.
So they either have a higher paying primary source of income, or you do make money per year.
Keep moving the goalposts bud. Just admit you're either a bootlicker or part of the problem
When you are out of anecdotal evidence, just scream that the opponent is moving goal posts.
I'm all for phasing landlords out of society, but DAMN! Idiots like you really make it hard to take your side.
What?? Who is making enough rent off one property to sustain a vehicle of 6 figures in addition to the rest of their life’s expenses? One property rental isn’t a cash cow.
Does the leather taste good?
Cringe as fuck. Thought this bullshit was on Reddit, guess the kids with no idea of how the world works came to Lemmy too.
I think you may have read the data wrong, in two places it says
and
The first sounds like most (read: more than 50%) do, but, and I may be reading the census data wrong, it seems like less than 20% own a single property for rent. The use of typically would indicate that most do, but they don't actually include the data in the article, which is odd and worrying.
The second also looks like it agrees with your assessment, but it actually kinda says the opposite- 72.5% of people who own single units for rental are individuals. This is surprising because it means there are 27.5% of single unit properties that are owned by businesses. However, it doesn't mean that 72.5%, or even 50% of individuals (individual landlords) own a single unit to rent.
This article all comes from the 2018 census, when the 2021 census is also available, but I wasn't able parse either very well.
