    -> landlords buy buildings -> less buildings available for sale -> price goes up -> people cant afford buying homes -> people rent

        No, not every landlord is horrible and renting definitely has it’s place, but it shouldn’t be the only option you get unless you want to spend 700k

        Like the other comment said, it becomes a problem when large groups are buying up all properties

      Landlords buy buildings --> More available rentals so people have more choices on where to live

        Then there’s the real world.

        Large groups of landlords/property management companies buy the majority of residential buildings in an area -> theres essentially nowhere else left to live -> they collude to increase prices
