You'll probably never know about this. You aren't a homeowner much less a landlord.
Sure a landlord wants a much as he can get. Much like you telling your boss you wanted 75k a year. Who's greedier?
I own multiple rentals and every year my property taxes have gone up. Also as a landlord I don't get the same breaks a homeowner gets. I just got a bill from the city to pay for a property tax break that all homeowners got but since I am a landlord I don't get it.
The only thing about a salary is can they afford rent. In the 4 years taxes, insurance have gone up each year. Yet in those 4 years my rent is exactly the same.
It's all about demand and this has been explained to you before on other threads but you refuse to accept it.
When I get a chance to raise rent I will and maybe make up for all the increases I cover every year out of my pocket.
You not being a homeowner have never paid for a roof, water heater, or any maintenance. Those costs increase too. I could say something nasty that the costs of those things are due to greedy workers like you who demand that they get paid more while not providing any more value than you do now. That in turn screws over the renters.
In the end I've seen enough of your posts to conclude you are smart enough to see how the world works some times, but are either lazy or entitled. In the end you,will always have a victim mindset and will never own a home.
Your comment about sacrificing money and school to better yourself to make 75k a year which will be worthless in the future shows your mindset. Think about how much your 40k you make now is going to be worth in the future
This woman works for LA county but commutes from out of town to save money...to raise her kids and pay for their education. It's about choices. Do what you need to do when you need to do it.
There was a story about a pro soccer player playing in L.A but commuting from far . He makes like$550,000 so he could afford to live closer but wanted a big new house with 6 or 7 bedrooms in a decent area and couldn’t find that in L.A supposedly
Again it’s about choices of what people want to do with their time and money .
A guy looked at a Mercedes Benz the other day and said in a disapproving tone, “I wonder how many people could have been fed for the cost of that car?”
I replied, “I’m not sure. It fed a lot of families who built it. It fed the people who made the tires. It fed the people who made the components. It fed the people who mined the copper. It fed the people who made the trucks that hauled the copper ore. It fed someone who helped sell the car.”
That’s the difference between having an abundance mentality and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people’s pockets and give them dignity for their skills.
I'm a little confused by the bolded above. When I think of the word "interview" in this context I think of "interview for a new job." When I think of the word "review" in this context I think of "performance review - that is, review of actual accomplishments over the past time period e.g., 12 months."
If it is somehow a review of your performance over the past 12 months, and you are seeking compensation increase to get you to $75K, what is it you've done over the past 12 months (your actual accomplishments) that is making your employer more profit than in the previous time periods?
The company is getting reorganize and converting people from temp to full time. You have to "interview for your job" and then you go to anther room to get your review. They are trying to see where your weak and where your strienghs are. You can interview very well, but suck in job performance, or you can suck at the interview but your job performance is outstanding. I prove the latter, by writing some programs that saves them 10k a month in labor cost in the field. Eventually, might script my self out of the job. I aim high but not to far out reach for my career path. 75k is possible with right employer and conditions, its the path of BS gets ya their makes it a challenge.

You can dish out pay raises all day long, but it gets eat up at the end of the day. Cant really enjoy it.

Yeah it’s amazing how many people don’t get it but they don’t teach this stuff in schools . People can even go through college and get great grades and stuff not understand the financials behind owning a rental property or business .
When someone tells you a fast food place sells an item for $1.00 and then everything besides food cost is profit that tells a lot .
Many renters seem to think that the rent is pure profit . Reality in many cities now you can’t even make money on rentals . L.A is one but there are many others .
I know a lot of people that are buying in the Midwest but it’s not a ton of money people are making .
Owning rentals I see as a long game . But there can be a lot of headaches if self managing especially .
Yeah I agree , there are a lot of people that know what they have to do but don’t do it . They want the system to adapt to them versus working within the system .
Much easier to learn the system than to try and be a revolutionary and change our system from capitalism to socialism or communism . And that would be a shame if the country did change that way .
It’s not about them being “icky” it’s also about them assaulting people and killing them .
Like this elderly guy that was attacked and killed by a crazy homeless lunatic. Oh this also happened right by a Whole Foods market too .
Yeah but laugh about it and made it seem like those that want the homeless off the street is all about not wanting to be around smelly homeless people .
clearly there were signs this homeless guy was not all there mentally but those such as yourself support the policy of not doing anything or just waiting for a tragic situation to happen .
There are people who are not homeless who commit horrible violent crimes. Most crimes are committed by males aged 16-25, would you suggest that we use preventative detention and lock them up until they are less of a risk to society?

I am far from being lazy and entitled. I be the first one in the mornings at work and last one to leave to turn out the lights. I earn my way around this world by WORKING, unlike some other people whom are self entitle people because they was born with a silver spoon. "O look i have money, lets go show these minions how the rich live and shove it in their face, and I didnt have to pick up a shovel"
You can put the most richy rich kids on a island and a minion off the streets, and see who survives. The minion kids will always come out on top because they know what and how it takes to survive this world, unlike richy rich here just thinks throwing money at everything will solve the problem by not doing it him/her self. Here we are busting our a$$ off for pennies on the dollar, mean while the CEO is getting 100mill in bonous for not hiring or raising salaries. ( take a look at the auto industry for this mentallity)

Yeah that is true .
Look at someone like Bill Gates and he lives in a huge mansion but how many people does Microsoft employ?
How many have become millionaires through Microsoft by working there and/or owning the stock ?
He’s already given away billions and has pledged to give away most of his wealth . How many lives has he saved through his charity ?
The perception of wealth that people have is mostly from the media perception of big houses and flashy cars. But the reality is the most important aspect of wealth is the things can’t touch or see .
For the average person it can mean not having to work some place they hate until they are almost dead because they have enough income to live off passively .
There was the post in this thread about the guy that retired in his 30s but I’m sure if he told people he had that goal a lot of people would of laughed at him and said he was crazy .
