There's a difference between building housing and being a landlord.

I disagree. Someone is funding the construction in the same way that someone is paying for the land and keeping it subdivided (rental units) and available.

Tenants are more than welcome to form LLCs and collectively purchase land and build or buy existing housing. This is called Tenant in Common. Maybe that is a business (non profit) idea for you, make TiC easier.
