what do you do as a landlord? Like when you come into work during your weird landlord schedule they always seem to have - what do you actually do?
Being a landlord means being self-employed. There's no set 8-5 M-F schedule like there is when working in an office.
It could mean meeting a contractor at 7:30am on a weekday or it could mean working on the weekend. Or staying at a property until 11pm painting to get it ready for a tenant.
that's why I mentioned the weird schedule they always have. My current one has some shit like Saturday 1 pm to 4 pm and then they don't reopen until Tuesday at noon then are closed again on Wednesday. Like what the fuck.
I never see my landlord doing shit like that. Just show people to new apartments usually.
I work from home and look outside. I see people move in and move out all the time. I rarely see the guy in charge doing anything other than handing over some keys.
or it could mean owning cheap apartment complex and having a building manager take care of almost everything.
