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.

Landlords were talking about the stress, some had super narrow profit margins, others had nightmare tenants that were damaging the property and incurring legal costs. I don't know (and now the whole house buying plan is on pause anyway) if I want to be a landlord.

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.
