    Companions like this very rarely own property. They rent space from the property management companies that bought the land and constructed the buildings.

      Yup. If you own a building, you need to pay someone to maintain it. If you rent a building, you get all of that in the contract and it’s one less thing to manage.

      Also, you can relatively change buildings if you need more space, whereas if you own it, you need to sell it first.
