Hi Chapos throwaway for obvious reasons.

I’ve managed to buy an apartment, two bedrooms. I live in it, but I rent the other room out. Is it unethical for me to hide that I’m the owner?

I don’t really lie-lie, like if I’m asked straight up I’ll answer, but I’ll avoid it if possible.

It’s mostly because it creates an odd power dynamic and I’d rather have a flatmate than a tenant if that makes sense.

Reason I bought is I don’t want to deal with landlords, obviously.

Do I get the wall?

    I take in less than half of what I pay to the bank in interest on the mortgage, so on paper right now it’s making a loss. (ofc the hope is that’s offset by interest rate drops and capital gain in future, so I’m not crying poor.)

    Eh ngl it's kinda shitty you're having other people pay your mortgage, then again the bloated housing prices are ridiculous and you are actually using the real estate yourself.

    You should at least be completely honest with your tenants tho, they deserve to know the whole situation.
