    I mean your literal job for players is to buy, sell, or rent real estate. That’s exactly what all players are doing. So it stands to reason that you would be paid a salary for this work. This is also peak capitalism in the 1930s. Ubi wasn’t even a glimmer of a thought in anyone’s eye.

      If that was the case you wouldn’t earn money from the real estate since it isn’t yours

      I mean yes, I’m pretty sure the OP isn’t saying that it being a UBI was the original intent. And yes, that is literally the players job. But I’d like to hear about this magic wage private property investors get paid to buy, sell and rent real estate? Ya know, outside of the rent you collect.

      Oh wait, we have that in Australia, sort of. It’s called negative gearing, and it allows you to claim all losses on rental investment properties against your tax.
