Expecting rentoids to change a furnace filter, much less completely rehab a fixer-upper, is a big ask. These shit boxes are only really affordable if you're somewhat handy, not if you call the landlord for everything.
Some of this is down to a failure of generational knowledge transfer honestly. Sure you can look up a youtube video for most of this stuff, but it was supposed to be practical skills imparted to you from your father. How many people grew up without fathers? How many present fathers failed to hand down the knowledge? How many were just bad at handing down the knowledge? There's been catastrophic breakdowns in the knowledge chain over the past few generations.
Right. If it's a "fixer upper" you've got to include the cost of fixer-uppering in the house price.

Ain't "you" the landlord?
