Three years ago I bought the last affordable apartment in Amsterdam and now I need to find new renters. Reactions to my ad so far: "helo i want apartmannt""Hi we're a family of 5, could we rent your 1 bedroom apt?""I'd like to rent your apt but I can't share info about my employment as there is none.""I read your ad, but when is the apt available?" (mentioned 3x in ad)"Can I view your apt today in 1 hour?"Invest in real estate they said, it will be fun they said.

@mhamzahkhan Of course, it's 45m2, that's a solid 9m2 per person.

@Gina once I land a job my goal is to find a place to move to. But if it's Amsterdam I doubt I'll be able to afford it.

@Gina You could look at these as example of desperation of the mass of people needing a house in the diversity of #housingcrisis Amsterdam, the city were several families moved away because of exploding "free market" rent raises. How about advertising in a different way ? e.g. via mailing lists, chat rooms, emailing, forums within your own networks ? That could give you different replies. Good luck ! :)

@cantinto Honestly I'm pretty chill as far as landlords go. The apt is completely renovated, everything is new, and in the winter my dad and I isolate everything extra so that the house stays nice and warm. Meanwhile, I could set my current rental house on fire and it still wouldn't get warm.

@nvsr Yeah it's absolutely insane now. I could charge an exorbitant amount of money (I feel like I sort of already do), but it just feels wrong. Amsterdam is completely ruined.

@Gina @mhamzahkhan awesome. That means there's plenty of room for more kids. Kids are super small when delivered.

@Gina @mhamzahkhan I found one of my kids neatly tucked into a cupboard once. He was eating cookies and didn't want to be distributed.He lay on his side behind pots and pans munching away.

@Gina I always lost money on the deal, but I was losing money less fast than if it was empty, and I couldn't afford to sell it, so "landlord" I was until prices recovered enough to cover my mortgage.

@Gina @qrsbrwn @mhamzahkhan Marie Kondo could probably fit all three of the kids in a box.
