I just stumbled across this on YouTube:

That guy seems to be in property management, and he’s giving you lessons from his current 10,000 tenants across multiple properties. A lot, and I mean a lot, of that video is pretty bad and talks about 2008 vs. 2024 with obvious examples (and some incorrect examples), but he does eventually get into paying rent, paying rent on-time, the need for apps to help you pay rent, and how these tenants can’t really do it without multiple jobs at this point, due to inflation and everything else. Now, obviously, this guy doesn’t want to admit he’s probably jacked his rents every year since 2019 by about 6–10% per year, because people don’t like to say they are part of the problem. But yes, this dude is likely part of the problem. We can ignore that for now, because we all know it.

Alright, so what we’re saying here is that everyone feels broke and stressed and $300,000…
