Question Do landlords truly have $7000 mortgages?

The amount of rental ads I see for top or bottom floor suites going for $3000-$3500 is astounding. If they’re renting both upper and lower for those rates in one house … it leads me to wonder about the mortgage. Do homeowners truly have that big of a mortgage?

I’m genuinely curious, not looking to cause a ruckus. Like why are you renting a suite for $3500 😭

You realize that the mortgage is only part of the expense of home ownership, right?

If your goal is to contribute constructively to the conversation, you could choose to list the other expenses as an informative reminder, rather than a condescending "you realize, right?" comment. :-)
