I have mixed feelings about putting off everyone with a shred of a conscious from being a landlord.
It's the only path to wealth in the US that isn't a scam.
There are bad landlords and worse landlords. Landlords that fight to exploit more, and those fine with the current level.
IDK. The "industry" is getting worse. It probably shouldn't exist but that's not going to happen any time soon.
Be a landlord. Know everything nasty they say about you is true.
