    Owning multiple properties that are occupied satisfies housing demand as much as each person owning their own home. As far as I figure, only vacant homes artificially inflate home prices/rent.

    As we said above, the renter has to cover the costs of the property, plus the landlord’s profit.

      That’s just not how rent works. Tenants don’t care what the landlord’s expenses are. If a home is priced above what people are willing to pay, it’ll sit empty.
