youve become a landlord - whats your response to the annoying slumlord jokes/stigma?

[Account Closed]

i have a couple SFR's and am about to acquire a duplex. My properties are very nice inside & out, very modern with good renters. Im not a slumlord by any means.

Im kinda sick of the "oh so your becoming a slumlord" or "why do you wanna fix toilets", etc.. comments from friends and various people when they hear im investing in rental properties. its like an automatic stigma from people who dont invest in real estate or anything else for that matter beside go to their 9-5 day job.

Im sure you guys get them too, whats your response when you get these annoying labels?

any good ones?

Plumbers fix toilets, not me.
