    If rent was just paying for the costs of utilities, insurance, taxes, general upkeep costs, and the mortgage for my unit I’d have no problem with it. When corporations start sucking up money to line the pockets of investors it becomes a problem.

          Im the guy saying get rid of all landlords. Being investors is what makes them bad.

        I’m not playing word games today, sorry. In this context “investor” means someone who is investing in corporate ownership of housing.

          Its no word game, this is layman’s terms, rental properties are bought by investors. I just dont get why unincorporated investors also sucking up money get a pass.
