I don't know about anyone else here on Somersoft. But this statement annoys me the most.
Recently at a friends BBQ I was asked about a unit I own, I went on to discuss with this person how it was going and that it was doing really well and had excellent tenants. Then for the person sitting on the other side of me who wasn't involved in the conversation to say "Wow, aren't you lucky" and then left it at that.
This left my blood boiling as she has no idea the sacrifices that I made to buy that unit and how much effort I put into it renovating it (former PPOR).
Just wanted to vent this sorry, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets annoyed when people say this to them
I would not worry about this too much,iv'e been through this a few times mainly from old mates married partners when they get around 50 and they work out buying the new car each year and renting was not the best path too be on ,once they find out you are living off investment taxed income,,best just to say very little,because you go from one camp of being liked too the camp of being unliked very quickly..
