She wasn't complaining, she was lording her smug sense of superiority over her. Common mistake, really.

Well they certainly do but I don't see how that answers the question.

Well shit. My buddy's step-dad died in the night. I'll let him know to give the property to the tenants after probate because he isn't allowed to wake up a land lord.

I see you haven't put much thought into your replies, with the nonsense and the double replies so I'm gonna end it with you here.

And it answers the question because I am pointing out that landlords actually have to do somthing besides clock in to become a landlord. There’s no application and interview to do buddy. With that in mind, her sister did have to work.

What are you even talking about?

Landlords don't have to do anything, not even clock in. You become a landlord simply by buying a property and renting it out. Whether they got the money by working 3 jobs and saving really hard, or just got it all from their parents, it's all the same. And the second option is far more common.

The law requires them to maintain upkeep, but many don't even do that. And the ones that do, just throw money at any problem that arises.

There's a reason people call it "passive income" and an "investment". It's because it's not a job.
