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.

You can carefully select them. Since owning my home I've never had a roommate that wasn't either a friend or a friend of a friend. But the responsibilities of fixing broken things for your renters, dealing with utilities etc. still exists.
