  Exactly, if you’ve got money lying around, invest in something that doesn’t require you to get off your ass and ensure the singular person/family selling their labour for your dividends isn’t forced to shelter in a mold infested leaky death trap.

  You’re profiting of someone else’s undeniable need for shelter and housing. You can at least fix the broken extraction fan above the gas cooker and not winge about the loss your precious rental income for that week.

  The stock market is way easier to invest in than the property market. I genuinely don’t understand why landlords take it on, then bitch about it.

    Absolutely. And you can get real estate exposure by buying REITs.
