Why isn't it?
I’d say being a property owner isn’t a job, which may be more what they’re thinking.
But property manager is definitely a job, though I think in many cases people equate property manager with landlord, because there are those that are both.
It’s a form of employment, but it does nothing but harm for society. Property should not be hoarded, but distributed fairly. If everyone who needed property had only what they needed, no one would need property managers. Therefore, property managers enable the hoarding of property, and that’s a bad thing.
Sitting on his ass or going golfing while his tenants work their ass to give 70% or their salary to the landlord, only for the MF to raise the rent a 50% without warning because his mistress wants to go on vacation somewhere in the Caribbean, doesn't sound like a job.
