I'd rather manage millions in assets than live in a place where no one fixes any of the shit that breaks and creates unsafe living conditions and still expects you to pay on time every month with no discount or be homeless but that's just me
between this and Shu being our other "i was given millions of dollars in rental properties by my family and man the inheritance tax was ROUGH" the landlord representation on this board skews...poorly
If someone just gave me stuff worth millions of dollars and I didn't want to deal with it because it's so hard and terrible I would just sell it for millions of dollars
Had a landlord in college that would always say we didn’t pay for the month and try to get us to double pay. Every month had to go to the bank and get a printout of my account and send it to her to show where the money was taken out to get her to stop calling and harassing me. She once sent this old biker looking dude that she went to church with to get us to pay up and had to have him follow me to the bank to go get the bank statement and show him and explain to him how it’s an ongoing thing so if she’s going to ask him to keep doing this then he needs to just meet me at the bank to save time. She was one of those really rich women with a ton of money and I assume a huge pill or drinking problem based on multiple conversations.
Landlords, management companies are a group I didn’t think we’d have people on their steeds for, but here we are.
lol remember when Trump successfully finagled a way out of having to install sprinklers in his property good times
my current one is pretty awesome, which is why I’m eight years and counting at my current place, but I’ve had some pricks before that. Besides that, I’m of the opinion that if THF is writing novels going one way, it’s best to go the opposite. Spoiler kind of kidding, but not really.
i've actually on net gained respect for lawyers from getting to know some from this board i think thats a me problem though
Anecdotal story and data but I’m on call this weekend and have to give our Covid nurses orders/instructions, and pass on positive results to primary care providers, counsel patients that have more questions that nurses can’t handle, etc. background: I live in a very white state. Sadly, I’ve been responsible to talk to/call back ~35-40 positives over the past 2 days. More than half are non-Caucasian, immigrants/refugees who are working at a couple of our big meat packing plants/big industrial factories. I know it’s anecdotal, but I feel this will be the data nationwide: the poor and minorities will be a disproportionate percentage of cases (but maybe not fatalities due to age). These are the types of workers that can’t WFH, can’t skip work/miss paychecks. They work in relatively crappy and unprotected conditions that are a breeding ground for this to spread. They usually live in multigenerational houses with a lot of extended family members. Over a third of our county’s (pop~ 200K) cases are from 2 businesses alone. and yet without shutting things down, you can’t stop it. And without worker protections, you suddenly have thousands of homeless and penniless people. impossibly awful situation.
We have a pretty good group of lawyers on here, we aren’t exactly representative of the general legal population. one of my life’s greatest regrets was leaving Alabama before I got to try a case against wes tegg and have the first Mainboard trial.
This shouldn't be hard for landlords. Banks are giving deferments and then they'll have some type of loan mod program like they did a decade ago (HARP) that will catch the loan up when this is over. Now it'll be different if the tenants have lost their job and don't get back to work immediately but any landlord trying to evict anyone right now when the banks are offering deferments are just scumbags.
Dorm, fraternity house, started building starter home once I got my first job 2 months before graduation, lived with my parents for a few months until house was finished. My 2 best friends lived with me in that house, so technically I’ve BEEN a landlord.
if you lived on campus the university would have been your landlord. So unless he only lived with his parents then bought a house it didn’t happen.
Wow.... in his rambling on about hydroxychloroquine Trump literally just said “I’ve seen things that I sort of like. So, what do I know? I’m not a doctor. I’m not a doctor, but I have common sense.” Does he think this is a fucking Holiday Inn Express commercial?
so who did you pay rent to when you lived in a dorm and in your frat house? Did you own the dorm and frat house? You literally had landlords in both places.
I told my wife this is what I thought would happen. She's been working from home some and when she does go to work she just stays in her office and has no contact with anyone. I've been wfh for 3 weeks. We have very little potential for exposure but tons of people here don't have that privilege and have to be on the front lines of this.
This study appears to support your observations. High-resolution influenza mapping of a city reveals socioeconomic determinants of transmission within and between urban quarters https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.03.023135v1
Disagree, while it definitely does not apply to the scientists and researchers it certainly applies to the hedge funds and private equity firms that are buying up companies and patents.
