You could donate it? You could turn it into a shelter. You could let someone live there rent free... Why is selling the only option you can think of?
“Rent free” so I’d pay the costs and someone could just be there for free? I can’t afford that.
No... I specifically said "rent free" instead of "free"... You can charge them what it costs to upkeep with no profit, that's my point.
…so now being a landlord is ok if you don’t make too much profit?
I seriously can’t keep up.
It's really not hard. Basic shelter is a human right. Making a profit from providing someone with basic shelter is immoral and unethical.
But is it profit if I’m asking over my expenses to save for a renovation for example?
How much over my expenses can I ask rent before becoming a bad guy?
I don't know dude, I'm just explaining my personal ethics. It's up to you to figure it out for yourself I guess...
In my view, profit is profit. Doesn't really matter what you're saving for, does it?
