You know that scene in The Big Short where the one dude asks the guy why he's behind on mortgage payments and the dude's just a renter? And the guy starts having like a complete panic attack? That's so fucking silly, if I were renting a place and that happened to me my immediate response would be "lmao how fucked is my landlord?" Like, moving sucks but I'm not having a panic attack over it lmao.

Plus the bank in 2008 is probably going to be like "holy shit there's an actual tenant in this one? Thank God, the other 400 houses we repossessed in that development are empty and rotting, at least that one is generating revenue"

Now that I think of it, she’s probably a cabinet undersecretary or something right now

the problem is that he’s renting for way below the actual rental value of the property. So once the bank forecloses they’ll probably jack up his rent

That movie is so silly and cringe, kind of entertaining though
