    as a renter you aren’t responsible for upkeep/changes to the home

    Nobody likes big unexpected costs. That’s why landlords tend to offload the risk to PMCs, warranties, and insurance.

    And then your rent pays for the monthly costs of all of that.

      I mean that’s like saying you’re also paying for their car and car insurance. I can apply that logic to anything they use the profits on. It’s all the same pot. Owning a home means a lot of costs whether you’re renting or living in it. There is substantial overlap.
