If I buy a home, I’m likely going to use saved post-tax income. What makes the money you’re using special?

Im building more homes in a market lacking homes where no outside group wants to invest. If you're building more homes on your property, by all means. No one is though and people are being priced out.
Just to be clear: you think you deserve a tax break for becoming a for-profit landlord? Isn’t the money you’re going to make by renting the homes sufficient incentive? Why should you also get a tax break?
Wasn't planning on being a landlord and no... I think my tax treatment should count income in the traditional way.
