Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

    That is incorrect. I can tell you’ve never rented to people rent is set by the market. Supply and demand.

    It doesn’t matter if the house cost 800k. If the market rent is 2k a month. That’s all you’ll get.

    In the area where I had my rentals, the houses are 500k but the rent is only 1k. Now I bought in 2008 and only paid 120k. So only lost some money but I made it up in tax benefits.

    People really don’t understand the economics of landlords. They think it’s all money in the pocket. It’s not. It’s a very thin profit margin with most the benefit being taxes.
