People generally view landlords as making easy money without providing value. I like easy money, so I started planning on buying a house and I read a bunch of landlord forums. And after seeing what landlords were saying... then I wasn't so sure. It almost seemed not worth it.

Your landlord is only assuming high risk and high stress because we've set up society / laws / incentives to make home purchases highly leveraged bets on future rent prices increasing. When you rent, your landlord takes on that risk and stress, but it's not fundamentally useful.

Look at it this way: does allowing insurance companies to reject people with pre-existing conditions provide value to society? It's high risk (if you accept someone expensive you lose money) and high stress (telling people they should die is stressful), but is it valuable?
