Anything you do where "your money makes money" is ultimately coming from the effort of other people.

    Completely fine by me. They need money for their endeavour, I give them money and expect something in return. I see nothing inherently wrong or unfair with that.

    Developers generally rely heavily on loans for building new homes, and America is short some 8 million affordable homes currently (and the gap keeps growing)

    Yes, but that isn't about investing in businesses, that is about allowing these businesses to buy up land and overcharge for rent. You could very easily solve this by regulation (e.g. capping rents and prohibiting property speculation)
