I think it was a little more altruistic than that - he just found people with criminal backgrounds were struggling to find places and on the whole were just as reliable to pay rent on time because they appreciated the opportunity
- jl2718 5y agoAltruism might be believable if: 1. He lived in the same neighborhood as his renters, and not 1000s of miles away in the UK 2. He didn’t kick them out after a few years by flipping it. 3. It was a slow, long-term acquisition of rentals for income rather than flipping profit. Sorry; the facts indicate a scheme. I don’t begrudge him personally; there is always some government program that makes this chicanery profitable at the expense of the working class, and somebody else would have done it.
