Buying up houses to renting them out to others for a profit is actively harmful to society.
The need to generate "cashflow" on your asset is a symptom of a fiat mentality.
Try owning an asset that grows in value faster than the money supply. Then rent-seeking is no longer necessary.
Shelter shouldn’t be a yield instrument engineered by monetary policy.
Fix the money, build more homes, and stop forcing everyone to be a landlord just to stand still. Bitcoin > cashflow.

People will still buy houses to rent even in a Bitcoin world because people still want passive income methods.
If anything Bitcoin would accelerate homes being made for rent because then they could utilize the house to get more Bitcoin.
But yes, I will say Fed policy did manipulate the market to make the practice more common than it naturally would've been.
100% cheap money makes cheap people, inside and out. The devaluation of everything, including our souls.
