Probably because most people don’t think of it as a “profession”. Lots of landlords hire property managers, which is a profession, but the landlord themselves are just collecting the money. Small-time landlords that might have 1 or 2 places they rent out probably have a real job, and just landlord on the side.
It’s probably a relatively small percentage of landlords who actually do the work themselves, and do it as a full time job.
It’s not really a profession, more of a business which you may or may not run yourself.
There’s also the kind that’s old and semi-retired and cares for properties part time. I’m curious what the breakdown is now. When it comes to the big properties, at least in Canada it seems like there’s more multi-shareholder corporate landlords than Trump family-type landlords.
