I personally don't want the headaches of being a landlord, but I have invested in apartment real-estate investment trusts (REITs). Such REITs do build housing, and I think that without them, housing costs would be even higher.

Do you advocate for policies that restrict home construction / increase prices, since that will improve your return on investment?

  It's debatable whether such policies do what you say. Land on which you can build more and more freely is more valuable than land that you can't do anything with.

Small landlords can vary wildly, but in my experience, big landlords inexorably gravitate towards slumlord behavior to their tenants.
