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.

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.

Scalpers are investors of sorts, yes. Doesn’t make it a good thing that we should have in society
