Is renting for Losers?

We’re all human and we all goof. Do things that may be wrong, but do something.

There’s too much group think on this site. I think that many people are convinced that renting is always the best solution. Depending on your stage in life and financial circumstances, renting may the best solution. Isn’t it a bit valuable to peer into the soul of a landlord? Some of you may call me slumlord. I want people to really look into the pros and especially cons of renting. There are also negatives of buying that all those who bought in 2005 can attest.

I do think that there a large number of landlords out there who negotiate on bad faith or sport, most don’t.

There are plenty of us on this board who have given a landlord’s perspective from time to time without making an ass of ourselves.

As someone who has been renting for the last 10 years, and has been a landlord, and who doesn’t give a s***t if this guy is a troll, the subject matter hit a raw nerve with me. Renting is not always a wonderful experience, and yes I have been made to feel less than adequate, and an untrustworthy individual. I am currently looking for a new rental, and the last three or four landlords I’ve dealt with just blew me away with their lies, stupidity, and distrustful attitude. My view is renting isn’t the issue. It’s landlords who seem woefully ill-equipped to provide what is an essential service. They lack social skills, business acumen, and are out of touch with the demands of those who seek a roof over their heads in today’s market. Renting could and should be a pleasant experience, but it’s still stuck in the last century.
