OK, maybe I was too quick to judge. See, in my country most landlords own 1-3 apartments which they rent out. That includes new construction. The idea of "corporate landlords" is not very common here.
If there's no way a person willing to be such a 1-3 apartments' landlord can buy realty to rent out in USA - then you may be right.
If there is, then my position doesn't change.
You are saying that rent a landlord collects from an apartment in 10 years (you may make it 5 years or 20 years, should be the span of time in which landlord's investment should return) is 10x the price for which the landlord buys it? That is, what you pay to a landlord in 1 year is the cost of the apartment plus utilities plus decoration plus furniture? I suspect this is not true.
Cost of apartment if landlord would not participate in bidding. For person it would be 10%, not 100%.
It wouldn't, because a landlord proxies tenants' bidding.
It's funny, I had some course (or maybe it was after class activity) for one year called don't remember what in school (2 different things, one kinda economics, one kinda sociology), we'd basically roleplay political systems and economic systems.
It'd give you the correct answer very quickly. Only you need a group of 20+ who are not all friends (like in a class).
