If houses were costly to own (and rent out), landlords wouldn't exist.
It is quite literally a free money machine that rewards you with money for simply having money to begin with. So much so that the term “rent seeking” was popularized to refer to things outside of real estate that are designed to extract wealth from other people without providing any actual value in return.
so a warm house , water and roof has no value.
