I think Mason's point is that their number is bounded by the number of pre-existing houses and so they're not a serious solution for a population that persists in increasing.

I’m a recent homeowner and have rented a couple rooms to Facebook data center electricians. Mason’s description is exactly me. Lower middle class pink collar homebody. By no means an experienced or “professional” landlord. Save us if I’m the solution. At least there’ll be plants.
In housing markets with a healthier supply, a landlord with a single unit who can't supply prior tenant references is going to have a hard time getting anyone to sign a lease. People are desperate here; it's important that there be alternatives to taking these risks.

Well, assuming you're offered a good deal and decent lease terms, it's not necessarily unwise. I worried less about these things in saner markets. I've broken two leases (legally, per the terms of the agreement) in MO & OR. I have never had a lease in CA I could afford to break.
