> the surplus value is taken by the landlord Hm - interesting theory. The landlord does have some expenses, though: upkeep on the property and taxes, as well as some bit of "float" for times when the property is vacant. There's a definable "margin" there, too, but I wouldn't know where to look to find out what. |

Not enough of one to make becoming a landlord a guaranteed way to earn an easy profit, or everyone would do it. Lack of startup capital wouldn't be an issue either—banks would be happy to front the cost if you can prove the venture will succeed well enough to pay them back with interest.
