    You could just, you know, pay for the property without renting it out if you want it that bad. If you’re in a position where you can just buy a property to hold for the future, you probably have enough money to do that. Otherwise, move into it or just don’t buy it.

    Renting it out makes you a landlord. Having other people pay for land you own to live there, without giving them a stake in it, is leeching off of their finances. It’s not that hard to understand.

      okay, so let’s say someone comes and is like, “I want to live in your property, I am not interested in buying, since I am only in this country for a short time and due to tax laws selling within 5 years would make the prospect of buying not worth it, I would like to rent this property from you.”

      I should be like, “Nah bro sorry, some children on lemmy said that’s leeching, I am gonna leave this empty”

      Otherwise, move into it or just don’t buy it.

      Ah yes, I shouldn’t have taken advantage of the very-low mortgage rates I should have not bought it, because fuck planning for the future.

      If you’re in a position where you can just buy a property to hold for the future, you probably have enough money to do that.

      oh so now we are telling people what to do with their stuff?

      Anything else I am doing wrong?

        Bro, you’re trying really hard to justify having other people pay for your property. There’s zero chance I’m changing your mind, since you’re now putting fringe circumstances on the table to make your point like this is supposed black and white. You came here to argue. Have a good one.

          what fringe circumstances? lol

          you think the existence of people who don’t want to buy just rent is fringe??

          or what is the fringe circumstance?

          Bro, you’re trying really hard to justify having other people pay for your property.

          My property is not being paid for by anyone (other than me) since I am not renting it, I am just calling out the utter stupidity going on here.

            👍

            Sorry bro, I’m just a kid on lemmy who can’t hear past your condescension.

            I am just calling out the utter stupidity going on here

            Yeah, we know you’re just here to pick a fight. It says a lot about you that you think us children and you’re still here arguing like you think any of us kids are going to take you seriously. Sure buddy, teach us a lesson. That’ll show us.

            We understand that renting isn’t going to go away. That doesn’t make landlords good people.
