Indeed. The system is currently set up to prevent people who aren’t already earning rent from acquiring property to earn rent.
instead of encouraging citizens to buy one property to rent it out…at a reasonable price, perhaps…and have a relationship with their tenant…our system punishes small owners or people trying to enter the market and rewards those who already have the wealth.
