You just made up a strawman and argued against it. It doesn't do anyone any good to imagine the dumbest reason someone might hold a particular opinion. If you must extrapolate someone's motivations, then try to come up with the most rational reason they might feel that way. It's still extrapolating, but will likely be much closer to the truth.

Sage advice in general, but I haven't generally found many solid arguments from people who hate on property owners who choose to rent their property out in order that others may have a place to live without the financial and time commitments associated with property ownership.
