So fucking based. Alakazam is now my gender
My pronouns are abra/kadabra
Owning capital isn't either, and yet it's the cornerstone of the rigged casino we call our economy.
You pay way more tax on the money you labor for than the money you win through gambling on Wall Street, and while you may win or lose, the owners can and do effect the outcomes to ensure they win.
Oh and just to be clear, the winners are not the workers or the society, but private shareholders, and almost certainly not you to any significant degree.
The term is rent seeking and in economics it's essentially parasite behavior.
"Income Property" should be straight up illegal.
What about working to maintain said land
It depends. If it's because you own the land, it's still not a job
Most landlords don't do that, they just pay others to from the money they've leeched from tenants. Being a middle man leech still isn't a job.
Maintenance is a job. Most people whose job it is to maintain land don’t own that land themselves however.
Technically you're right, it's an investment.
Unless you're a farmer/rancher. Then it's a way of life.
No, that's a job. Especially since you could lease the land or work for someone else.
You hear that, farmers?
The job is not owning the farmland, it's WORKING that land, hence the term.
You're landlords crop. He is working you
A farmers job is farming. Most farmers in history didn’t even own the land they worked on tbh.
I'd say renting out property you own is not a job, owning land and keeping it nice and clean or dare I say it growing some vegetables is very much a job.

keeping it nice and clean or dare I say it growing some vegetables is very much a job.
