It is an investment, not a job. All investments generally exploit others (by “stealing” surplus value). Stuff like maintenance and even management of properties are jobs, but they don’t require ownership of the property (in which case, some of the value of their labor is being stolen, assuming the landlord is making a profit/building equity in excess of rent).
Alternatives could be public housing, some type of housing cooperatives where tenants build equity which can be redeemed when they move, and probably many other systems I am unaware of.
“Stuff like maintenance and even management of properties are jobs, but they don’t require ownership of the property.” You can hire a person or company to take care of everything; there’s a whole industry around it.
