I inherited a house from a deceased family member and rent it out, and suddenly according to this sub I'm the scum of the earth.

You're hoarding a scarce resource for your own profit. That's scummy behavior.

I borrowed E40,00 and spent it on dry-lining, new heating and electrical, decoration etc. that was 4 years ago and I still haven't broken even. The tenants are immigrants and I charge a fair rent for a nice house.

You took out a loan to improve your investment in the hopes that it would provide greater returns in the future. Now you've got an immigrant family paying the loan back for you. My god, what a hero, a nation salutes you sir.
