[landlord general] - I hate being a landlord today
I got a text at 4am. Water has been flooding my ground floor apt. I’m tired of being a landlord. It’s really non-stop even when you hire a property manager and I have one of the best. I purchased my duplex 8 years ago and it’s one thing after another year after year. Non paying tenants, main sewer line break, another crappy tenant, tenants not getting along, tenants that are so high maintenance.
I’m just wanted a quiet holiday. I’m so exhausted today.
ETA - thanks for everyone’s comment, esp those that can relate. Sometimes you just want a moment to vent. People can still love what they do, what they have, and still complain when it’s been one of those days. Oh, I didn’t make it clear, we used to self manage and only recently hired a property manager about a year ago. He’s been on point and dealing with pretty much any issues that arise with a few of my properties under his care. Some tenants just still want to include me either out of habit or any other number of reasons.
