You're not a slum landlord and you're not a corporate landlord. When people say they hate landlords, it's usually the corporations that everyone hates. At least, that's who it should be.

Having 1 or 2 properties isn't really the problem and not causing a housing crisis. It's the landlords that price fix and keep them empty to keep the "riff raff" out that should be banned. It's the landlords that buy up all of the housing in an area and then convert them to airbnbs that are a problem. I agree with you that it's also the banks that are taking on loans that the homeowners can't afford so they can sell these properties to the corporations (see above). The banks might even be a part of the corporations buying up all of the housing.

I think most just hate landlords without using any higher level thinking.
