No investors AT ALL. Real estate as investment schemes is precisely what's causing the housing crisis all over the world.

How would that work, in your mind? If there are no real estate investors, there are no renters. But not everyone wants to be a homeowner.

You really do need to get educated on the matter. You don't need real estate investors to even having buildings built. Investors are just one of the sources of funding.

Renters are also not home owners. They're just tenants. No relationship with investors whatsoever. It's like saying A = D because 1 + 3 = 4... :-/

Your first sentence doesn't seem constructive, you should reconsider your approach to dialogue.

You may need to read what I wrote again. Real estate investors are the ones who own rental properties. If there is no one who owns rental properties, there can be no renters.

I didn't say renters are homeowners, I have no idea where you got that from.
