Do people who passionate argue for buying a home instead of renting violate the Efficient Market Hypothesis? If that is so much better, why don't see a lot of people making money from landlording, by buying on mortgage and renting it out?
There are transaction costs involved in landlording.
People take better care of a house if they own the house.
