Most of the people that I have rented from have been pretty kind, decent folks. I lived in one apartment building, that definitely sucked, and one 3 level that was section 8 besides us, and that landlord was on the scummy side, but didn't argue about fixing things. Other than that, just people renting their first house that was too small after a point and they bought another. And I bought my house from the last one 40k under market because we were good tenants and had become friends.
Are the people that sold me their extra house 40k off evil?
well it wasn't really a 40K discount if that transaction didn't require real estate agents, it might have actaully netted them more money.
Exactly. You rent a house? You are the equivalent of Jeff Bezos!
