I fully get the issues with landlords in terms of coasting off of other people's labor and in general being parasitic. My question is, the resistance I get when I say that someone shouldn't profit off of another person's need for housing is that they bring up grocery stores/ restaurants profiting off of a person's need for food. And I don't really know how to address or answer that. Just wondering if someone can close the loop for me!

    Because the banks won't approve it. Having enough money to buy a house isn't enough, you have to have enough money to buy almost two houses to be approved to buy one.

      Having enough money income to buy a house pay a mortgage isn’t enough, you have to have enough money income to buy almost two houses pay mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities and general cost of living expenses to be approved
