Absolute Bo!!ox talk.
I personally know plenty of private landlords who don't charge top dollar and look after their tenants very well.
Agreed!
The notion that private Landlords are rolling around in their profits, or indeed that they are sitting on inherited property is delusional.
Usually spouted by someone with no clue as to the costs involved be they capital, ongoing or opportunity.
I would be far from surprised to hear that poster screaming for class warfare and the subsuming of all private property soon enough

That reminds of P Flynn's challenge to try to run three houses on a hundred thousand pound a year sometime. Absolutely deluded.Agreed!

Strange you should say that. The below actually is reminiscent of what Flynn said:

I then had to ring at least half of those back to further show i was not discriminating.
That is down the homeless crisis.
You try showing a flat to 128 people in 12 days.It's awful to be comfortably off isn't it, goddamn plebs not appreciating the effort us of the landlord class put into avoiding risk and litigation whilst maximising the return...
You need to be careful IMO, as over the past couple of days it's almost as if you are actively trying to fulfil a stereotypical trope that I'd never have labelled you with in your 1st 5k posts.0 -

Does it?
Would you care to explain how? In something other than a soundbite?
As a private landlord, I'm happy to discuss the economic consequences of my wife and I having the temerity to not immediately donate her house to the State/Novas/GoFundMe on our marriage.
As for the piles of profit, I've yet to come across any of those and given I do the Tax return I am fairly certain it's also not just resting in an account somewhere.
I've got to be managing my property wrong!
There's no ton of money left to me after mortgage, contingency, costs and taxes are covered.
We do have the future benefit of an appreciating (for the time being at least) asset, that will hopefully go a long way towards ensuring both a comfortable retirement for my wife and I, aswell as ensuring that come what may we have a contingency if we need it.
We are hands off, property is in an RPZ and is managed by an agency.
There is still a large cohort of people who are accidental landlords, who had to move for work and other reasons but couldn't bring their house with them.
You seem to have confused 19th Century Hiberno-English absentee landlordism, with the actual reality of what being a landlord is.
I don't know of too many grand estate owners these days, unless it's a version of a Renault Mégane!Much the opposite of your claim that many are sitting on property inherited and did nothing for it.
I grew up on a council estate, I'm the only member of my immediate family who owns any property and I worked hard to be able to.
Many of the "scum" landlords you refer to are landlords solely because selling a house bought in 2006/7/8 up until quite recently anywhere other than Dublin meant crystallizing a loss.
So people moved and rented out their homes.
Rent is driven by market forces, the market in Ireland is distorted by government supplements and this places an artificial floor on rents.
That is a significant factor in driving rents, then couple that with the same government enacting a policy of RPZ controls that limits the maximum...
The policy drives both an absolute minimum for a unit of rent allowance plus the minimum contribution, and a maximum in RPZ zones of versus 3 similar and 4% a year.
Price is a function of supply v demand.
Private landlords don't control either of those, nor are they distorting the market with subsidies.
The market is fúcked, I am immensely lucky (and happy) I don't rent my home.
Both as currently I am unable to work, and as I really do value the security that owning our home affords.
But I worked very hard to be in this position and went short a lot of things to do it.
The buck needs to stop with the policy makers rather than those who were left trying to service their debt and who made homes available for rent.
Unless someone has no mortgage, the belief that renting a property equals a pile of risk free cash, is very, very mistaken.
Even for mortgage free property for private landlords, the tax burden and the actual opportunity costs of locked away capital and maintenance costs do impact hugely on the returns.
Being your own sinking fund is far from cheap.
But I'm sure that you Woke, can explain to us all the dangers of our greedy capitalism and how we are fuelling the homeless crisis?
Us!?
The small private landlords, the ones struggling to ensure our bills are paid, our property maintained and our tenants happy...
We clearly are the problem 0 -

Thanks Racontuese!
If nothing else, I'm glad at least 1 poster caught my drift with that particular post 0 -
