I love the freedom a passive income provides.But the anti-landlord vibe in Portland has been enough to make me question the ethics of buying and renting more property.

Oh no who revived the overworked anti-wholesaler thread!

BP can be a bit anti wholesalers at time so ignore that.

I like Paula Pant's anti-budget theory: https://affordanything.com/ant...

Seems like an overall anti-str tone from the local governments. 

Remove the draconian anti-landlord legislation and I think you could see a return of many landlords and SFR's in particular.  11000 landlords quit Seattle in 2022, this is the number that has not renewed their rental registration.

I think the answer is, (especially in this anti-landlord climate), you'd have to be crazy to be a landlord.

I hate bad debt and avoid it if possible because is is anti-wealth building.  

Anti-landlord laws and bad tenants have taught us a lot, particularly that there are much better areas for cashflow with a lot less headache!

Adam, lol, if you read my posts, you'll see that I am, shall we say, anti-guru and I use that term for most things that are unconventional.
