Becoming a landlord is a great way to get into property investing. As long as you find an investment where the mortgage is covered by your tennants you are in a winning situation.

Landlord has the power to sell and buy the property. If the landlord has the large property he can also rent it for those who need it, he can earn in both ways renting and selling.

in both ways all positive,but since this is property .location should be one of the consideration to pick a land to be bought before reselling it or flipping it

back to the past,we can be a landlord because our father is a prince or has title “SIR”,today become landlord,only need small investment in seeing good location,some trust,and correct momentum
