If there were no landlords to buy and then lease those properties, the rental market would not exist. Just like Ford builds cars, but they don’t create the car

If there were no landlords to buy and then lease those properties, the rental market would not exist. Just like Ford builds cars, but they don’t create the car rental supply. Enterprise, Hertz, etc do. The cars are the capital asset being rented, not the supply side of the rental market.
- kelnos 9y agoI don't think you understand what "supply" means. I'm not saying landlords don't fulfill a valuable part in the housing puzzle, but saying landlords "supply" housing is absurd.
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoI didn't say that. I said they supply rental housing, which is a distinction. And that's 100% true. Landlords 100% supply rental housing. To claim otherwise is absurd.
