I don’t get it. Landlords don’t buy houses. They mostly buy apartment blocks. At least in central europe, where I’m located. It’s usually not lucrative enough to invest money into a house to rent it back out for like 1500€ - 2000€ a month when you can invest the same amount into an apartment block, have 10 apartments and make like 800€/apartment.
Also, in germany specifically, the problem isn’t landlords. It’s extremely restrictive and confusing building regulations that are extremely hard to fulfill. It also sometimes takes YEARS for buildings to even get approval. Well, and the prices for raw materials are currently through the roof aswell. No idea how it’s in other european countries tho.
Okay, I’m curious, how exactly do you think landlords affect your ability to buy a house?
I would look at things like “supply and demand” to answer that question.
