Old guy or younger guy? If this is their retirement income, they would probably be better off selling it and putting the proceeds into a nice account.

Of course those accounts also profit off of the inconvenience of others, but with social security all messed up, some form of screwing with the active working generation is needed to model retirement of the older generation, and a financial account is less egregious than sitting on potentially available housing stock.

I think I can answer most of your questions by saying he comes over to discuss the lease in a Mercedes Maybach. An SUV that starts at $178,000.

I don't think age or other things really matter at that point.

He owns multiple properties and houses.

But, still, my entire point is that this relationship in itself is what needs to die. It's not this individual dudes fault. It's a system that allows people like this to exist that produce nothing.
