You fell just short of calling me a boomer. I'm almost disappointed...
If you think everything was so easy in the 90's - especially for a college student working 3 jobs to afford that place - then believe what you will. I suppose that bizarre myth is part of the lore of people who weren't even born back then and blame all the ills they suffer from today on the previous generations. I know, I did the same to my parents.
And yes, my property is now worth 5x what it was worth when I bought it... in today's money. Adjusted for inflation, it's not nearly as much. Still, it was an investment: do you understand what an investment is?
Are you under the impression that the US dollar has 5xd from inflation since the 90s? Lol
Seriously, I don't know what reaction you're expecting here - if you're finding that being a landlord is a shitty way to make money, then.. Stop? Sell the apartment and invest in something else instead of whining about how badly landlords are mistreated lol
