New Landlords - Are you prepared for the hate?

Being a landlord or real estate investor is tough. Not everyone is going to see things the same way you do. Things like evictions or rent increases are very sensitive subjects. Many people in our society want to vilify landlords for doing their jobs.

  • Have you considered this as you begin or continue to grow your investment portfolio?

Below is a recent comment someone sent me on YouTube. Admittedly I operate in the public eye a lot more than your typical landlord or real estate investor so I'll receive a higher amount of this type of stuff then most but most if not all landlords or investors are going to face this type of stuff everyday. If they build a high profile business like I have it can get extreme like the comment you see below.

  • What are your thoughts on how society views landlords or real estate investors?
  • Have you experienced any hate like this because you choose to invest or manage real estate?
