I still wouldn’t say you’re a good guy in this instance.
I have two options: either sell (to an investor/hoarder) or rent. In the latter case, I can’t afford being both the breadwinner for my family and the mortgage for the prior apartment.
What would you suggest I should do in this situation to “be the good guy”?
But, the real massive issue I see here is that big companies and rich douchebags use owning land and housing solely for profit. THAT should be illegal (…)
Well, selling to someone who needs it would be best in my book but yea… You staying the owner is a billion times better than some company or land developer buying it… You’re right, no hard feelings
I said him owning it is better than a laege company owning it
I mean isn’t that better??? You can reason with a guy, given that he’s reasonable, but you have no chance with a company. And his price is probably lower than that of a company looking to maximise profits with constant market data available to them

And I asked you why, at which point you claimed you didn’t say that.

I see no reason to think you have any better chance reasoning with this guy.
And his price is probably lower than that of a company
I see zero reason to believe he’s renting for below market rate. Individual owners don’t general charge lower rent than companies, so your assertion that he “probably” does is completely baseless.
Look man I really don’t have anything againsnt what you’re saying, we’re both arguing for assumptions here, there’s no point
But I guess I’ll ask this, to get to more practical things: what do you think he should do?
I think the best thing he could do is sell to someone that needs the property to live in it. But I won’t hold it against him if he chooses to keep and rent out the property unless it’s solely for profits. Keeping a property for a while to make sure you won’t need it before selling it, is fine in my head.

100% agree with this and the rest.

Why is that better? A parasite owns it either way.
What? I said
As in someone that needs it to live in it
Why lie?
Huh? I don’t follow
