I really want to be a landlord when i get older. What does it take to be one (how much college and what kind of investing) and what are the responsibilities and jobs a landlord does? it seems so appealing! i could be in charge of a bunch of apartments and rake in good money right?

As far as responsibilites go, a lot of money and time is involved on your part but you do make really good money as a landlord. You must buy the property, do things to the inside of the places to make them appealing to people who might want to rent from you, keep the yard maintained (if there is one), and fix all the little things that sometimes go wrong with the house. It's also the landlord's job to collect rent and see that people clean up the place when they move out. You would be responsible for finding new people to move into your apartments when others move out as well. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]

My guidance counsler always gives me the answer i need and hope your guidance councler is like that too. Or you can just INTERVIEW an actual landlord. Ask for his or her time and talk to them, but first ask them if they are willing to answer all your questions.
anyway, i wish you the best of luck
