Hello BP we are all on here because we take pride in our properties and doing everything we can do to be great landlords. Everyone always says oh your a slumlord, and I really don't like that and actually kinda take offense. My question is how do you deal with this? What is your response when someone calls you a slumlord?

I half-jokingly tell them that all my tenants live better than I do. I'm renting 1 room in the bay area with shared facilities. My properties have AC/heater/their own bedrooms/bathrooms/washer/dryer/amenities. 

I wouldn't mind living in any of my units, they're nicer than my current living arrangements.
