    The risk of losing is thousands - it’s absolutely not “nothing”, as I said, it could be years of someone’s life.

    You have a really weird way of looking at business. It’s not free to have someone renting property from you and “paying the mortgage”. It’s not risk free.

      The risk is losing something you can afford to lose.

      It may be undesirable, sure, but if you can’t afford to lose it then you shouldn’t be investing it.

      Landlords provide no service, they simply increase the cost of housing. A landlord does not fix your boiler, a plumber does. A landlord does not pay for furniture, you do through your rent. A landlord does not provide housing, they take existing housing off the market and lease it at a premium above the equilvent mortgage rate.

        Ah, you should have started with “landlord bad landlord not work”, would’ve saved me a lot of wasted time in replying to you.

        And let me guess - no landlords means no homelessness and no housing crisis anywhere
