    I mean, maintenance costs exist.

    But people who rent units under the maintenance cost have historically been referred to as "Slum Lords".

        Depending on the state of the market, buying an existing block could be cheaper than building one from scratch.

        Or, yeah. Invite people in under a tenant's association and just establish a trust to fund repair/renovation. I have no idea how practical that would be in execution, but its definitely a worthy goal.
