Chairman, what should I do if I want to rent a 3 bedroom apartment I can’t afford and am considering renting a bedroom out at a considerable discount and trying for a shared office type deal with a sublet. I am concerned I would be a parasite but yet I want a home office and hardwood floors
Just go further into debt at the company realtor, buy groceries with credit at the company grocery store, pay way too much for labor with credit at the company mechanic to fix your cars, and go to the company hardware store to get your floors with credit. You’ll eventually pull yourself up by the bootstraps if you don’t want your entire life to be indebted to the company you work for, duh.
Here’s the thing about landlords that doesn’t even hold true in large corporate investors. Landlords calculate property as a depreciating asset (similar to a car or machine that faces wear and tear). They detract value on paper for the tax write off while literally anyone else expects property value to increase. They do shit like painting over brick and give contracts to the cheapest bid so they can do that.
Then when it’s time to sell the home, they claim all that shitty work as “renovations” and jack up the price even higher. Not to mention that every landlord I’ve had was dogshit. I rented a tiny room in a 7br/2.5 bath for $650/month and there was 1 three-prong outlet (not up to fire code). The landlords that took over tried asking for fucking 1200 for that same small ass room
