I think it's the "said no land Lord ever" bit. There's a lot of investment property owners with hundreds of units that can be shady AF. It's just tough to be the " I can handle this mortgage if I get a basement suite rented out and work really hard" and get lumped in.
Yeah one of my better landlords was a sparky that worked hard af. This is Aus though so might be different. Any time we reported shit with the house he was out the immediately when he didn’t have a job to fix it personally and you could tell he was hot shit at his work too because he had his own business.
Is a sparky an electrician in Australia?
When I worked in construction (Midwest US) we called 'em sparkies too
I was gonna say I hear it heaps in Aus but I’m pretty sure Americans use it too.
