      I provide service of housing in the capital city near best jobs and nightlife to 10 people. Not many want to bother even but thanks to me people have opportunity to better their lives.

      I could just sell it all and buy some lazy stocks or the like and not even bother. It’s actually a bit of work to keep it all operational and provide these accommodations

        How are you “Providing a service” the house is there regardless of you, you do not do anything more than Incidental labor to the shelter (if you do that) and administrative labor that is reductive given it only exists due to your involvement.

        what you are actualy doing is preventing the housing from being avalible to those who need it, your tennents, are the ones who need housing and it should be owned by them. Landlording is paricitic in its nature.

        Now I am not saying you are a bad person, you are just playing the game. However we need to understand that this game is an immoral game.

        No, you’re a leach that seeks to endlessly profit off of once-created Value. You aren’t bettering anyone’s lives, you extort them based on their need of shelter. The minor maintenance you do does not entitle you to the vast rent you extract.
