I mean, you saying that landlords don't do much is the exactly what I meant when I said "arguing about what 'adding economic value' means" >typical rent is many, many times the value of someone looking after the maintenance and building insurance for you I'm curious about this. I'm not sure if there's a universal rule of thumb, but it's something like "expect 1-4% of the home's value in maintenance every year" - $4,000 to $16,000 on a $400,000 home. Take the lowest end of that - $333/month in expected maintenance a year. Add $100/month for home insurance. You're claiming "many, many times" $433 a month in that scenario? Given more recent interest rates and the uptick in "maybe you should rent for awhile, actually" articles/videos I've seen, this doesn't strike me as plausible...
