"Unemployed landowner" is a pretty funny job status.

  We have a lot of those today. We just call them Landlords.

    Boo. Every landlord I ever had was retired, working full time to earn enough to buy second properties, or were a management company, so the landlord there is actually a CEO of a property management firm. If there's somebody renting property without doing any work they're probably better characterized as a slumlord.

      There's a lot more slumlords than you may realize. Plenty of scummy property management firms, too. I suspect they far outnumber your nice guy landlords. Kind of depressing that the grandparent comment got people angry enough to flag it into oblivion. Leave it to HN to stand up for the big guy, I guess.

      Last two landlords I've had were ReMax agents. Felt kinda dirty, like they were exploiting the real estate game a bit. They were in a very knowledgeable position in the market vs everyone else.
