Being a landlord is not “passive income” and the people who treat it that way are bad people.
Being a landlord is a job. You have to maintain the property your tenants live in. That is your responsibility for your part time job that you took on when you bought or inherited this property.
You can pay a property management company to do the landlord job for you, if you want. That’s definitely your prerogative, and it’s a good solution, especially for the people who just want to rent inherited property out until they’re ready to retire into it, or whatever.
But landlord is a job.
